Ingredients

  • 4 large croissants, sliced in half horizontally
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices Muenster cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and replace the parchment paper.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and combined.

  4. 4

    Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently push the eggs around with a rubber spatula, creating soft curds. Continue cooking, folding, and stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from the heat.

  5. 5

    Place the bottom halves of the croissants cut side up on the baking sheet. Top each with a slice of cheddar, followed by 1/4 of the scrambled eggs, 3 slices of bacon, and a slice of muenster. Place the croissant tops on top.

  6. 6

    Return the tray to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the croissants are warmed through. Serve immediately and enjoy!
