Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large, flaky croissants
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 8 slices thick-cut smoked beef bacon, or 4 slices beef ham/beef breakfast sausage
- 4 slices provolone or sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh arugula or spinach
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Pinch of garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Lay beef bacon in a cold skillet over medium heat. Cook for 8-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside. (If using beef ham/sausage, cook per package directions).
- In a bowl, whisk 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until eggs are scrambled and fully cooked. Divide into 4 portions.
- Thinly slice tomato. Wash and dry arugula/spinach. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, lemon juice, and smoked paprika for the sauce. Taste and adjust.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) or use a toaster oven. Slice each croissant horizontally. Lightly toast cut sides for 1-2 minutes if desired.
- Spread Sriracha mayo on the bottom half of each croissant. Layer with scrambled eggs, cheese (allowing it to melt from residual heat), beef bacon, tomato slices, and arugula/spinach. Spread more mayo on the top half of the croissant and place it on top.
- Serve immediately while warm, paired with fresh fruit or coffee.
