Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Base
- 4 butter croissants
Protein
- 8 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 4 large eggs
Cheese and Veggies
- 1 cup plant-based cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
Seasonings and Extras
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or plant-based spread for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the Croissants and Bacon: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice each croissant in half lengthwise, keeping them hinged. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Lightly butter or grease an oven-safe dish or skillet, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled or just set, depending on your preference.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: On the bottom halves of the croissants, layer fresh spinach, tomato slices, cooked smoked turkey bacon, and a generous portion of scrambled eggs. Top with shredded plant-based cheese.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the croissants become golden brown around the edges.
- Serve Warm: Remove the sandwiches from the oven. Close them with the croissant tops and serve immediately to enjoy warm, melty, and flavorful breakfast sandwiches.
Notes
- Use day-old croissants for better texture and flavor absorption when baking.
- Soft scrambled eggs provide a creamy contrast to the flaky croissants; avoid overcooking.
- Warm the smoked turkey bacon before assembling for optimal crispness.
- Layer fresh veggies next to the eggs to keep them crisp and fresh.
- Bake sandwiches on a wire rack for even air circulation and a crunchier texture.
