Method
 

Cook the Bacon
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Toast the Croissants
  1. Slice croissants in half horizontally and lightly toast (in a toaster oven or skillet) for extra crispiness.
Assemble the Sandwiches
  1. Layer scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese onto the bottom half of each croissant.
Melt the Cheese

Notes

Add flavor: Try a swipe of sriracha mayo, hot honey, or avocado slices.
Make ahead: Assemble sandwiches, wrap in foil, and refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 month. Reheat in oven or air fryer.
Cheese swap: Pepper Jack adds spice, or Swiss for a melty café-style flavor.
