- Method: Air Fryer, Stovetop
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 2 croissants, cut in half lengthwise
- 4–6 half slices cooked bacon (Follow my air fryer tutorial)
- 2 slices yellow American cheese (or cheddar)
- 2 eggs
- 1–2 tablespoons butter (for frying eggs)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Cook bacon in the air fryer or in a skillet until crispy.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt butter.
- Lightly toast the croissant halves in the skillet, then remove and set aside.
- Fry the eggs in the skillet. Use the edge of a small skillet to shape the egg to fit the croissant if desired. You can also use bacon grease instead of butter to cook the eggs.
- Flip the eggs and add cheese. Cook until the eggs are cooked through and the cheese is melted.
- Place the egg and cheese on the bottom half of each croissant and top with cooked bacon.
- Add the top croissant and serve warm.
Notes
- Wrap the sandwiches in foil and refrigerate for meal prep.
- To reheat: warm in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or air fry at 350°F for 3–5 minutes until heated through.
- We tend to make ours with American cheese, but cheddar works well too.
- Eggs can be cooked in bacon grease for extra flavor.
