CROISSANT BREAKFAST SANDWICH
Nothing beats a breakfast croissant sandwich! The combination of flavors from the flaky croissant and the meat, egg, and cheese is truly delicious! This easy sandwich recipe is the perfect make-ahead sandwich for breakfast or brunch. From the flakey and buttery croissant combined with the warmed egg, meat, and cheese the flavors are truly magical.
WHAT YOU NEED-
- Croissants– You can use either large or small croissants, but the measurements for this recipe for large croissants. If you use small croissants, you will end up having 1-2 additional sandwiches.
- Meat– Use any of your favorite breakfast meats such as turkey, ham, bacon, turkey bacon, or even sausage patties. I love to pair different meats for a heartier sandwich.
- Cheese– You can use your favorite sliced cheese! I love using Swiss, Colby jack, monetary jack, American cheese, and even cheddar cheese.
- Eggs– Either classic fried eggs or scrambled eggs can be used for this breakfast sandwich! You can also use just egg whites also.
- Butter Topping– For the topping, the recipe calls for melted butter (salted or unsalted) and garlic powder. This gives the sandwiches added flavor and crisp. The butter topping is totally optional.
- Spread– Adding sauces and spreads to your sandwiches totally elevates the sandwich! You can use honey mustard sauce, ketchup, mayo, and even Chick-fil-a sauce.
