Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 croissants, sliced in half
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
- 4 slices of turkey, ham, or smoked salmon
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup arugula or lettuce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Toast the Croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Optionally, lightly toast the croissant halves either in a toaster oven or on a dry skillet until slightly crisp and warm to enhance flavor and texture.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them as scrambled or fried eggs according to your preference. Season with salt and black pepper while cooking. Ensure the eggs are cooked through but still moist and fluffy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: On the bottom half of each croissant, layer the cooked egg, followed by a slice of cheese, your choice of turkey, ham, or smoked salmon, then slices of avocado, and a handful of arugula or lettuce on top.
- Complete the Sandwich: Place the top half of the croissant on the assembled fillings to complete the sandwich. Press gently to hold everything together.
- Serve the Platter: Arrange all four sandwiches on a serving platter. Serve the sandwiches warm or at room temperature for a satisfying brunch experience.
Notes
- Add a drizzle of honey or mustard inside the croissants for an extra layer of flavor.
- Include fresh fruit or yogurt on the platter to add variety and balance to your brunch spread.
