The bacon crisps first, then six eggs are scrambled gently over medium-low heat until fully set but still soft.
Dijon goes inside each croissant before the egg, two bacon slices and a slice of cheddar, and five to seven minutes at 350°F melts the cheese.
Why This Recipe Works
- Low heat and gentle stirring keep the scrambled eggs soft.
- Mustard against the croissant keeps the bread from going soggy.
- A short warming melts the cheese without drying the eggs.
- Croissants crisp at the edges in the oven.

How to Make It
Bacon cooked
Heat the oven to 350°F. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, then drain on paper towels.
Eggs scrambled
Whisk the eggs with milk, salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and cook the eggs, stirring gently, until fully set but still soft.
Assembled
Spread Dijon mustard inside the croissants. Fill each with scrambled egg, two bacon slices and one slice cheddar.
Warmed
Place the sandwiches on a sheet pan and warm 5 to 7 minutes, until the croissants are crisp at the edges and the cheese melts.
