Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Crack eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until combined.
- Heat butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs and gently scramble until just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Split croissants and lightly toast them in the oven for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
- Layer the bottom half of each croissant with scrambled eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and 1 slice of cheese.
- Top with chives if using, then place the top half of the croissant.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Do not overcook the eggs as they’ll continue cooking slightly from residual heat.
- For best results, use day-old croissants as they hold their shape better when toasted.
