  • 1 Tablespoon of water
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon of chives, freshly chopped

You’re going to love how easy this recipe is to make! It is such a great breakfast meal that comes together in minutes! All you need is one skillet! Let’s start with the scrambled egg batter.

In a medium bowl, crack and add all six eggs. Using a fork, or whisk, break the yolks and whisk together.

Add the chopped salt, pepper, & garlic powder. Mix well.

TIP: If you’re not a fan of garlic in your eggs, you don’t have to add it. I love the extra flavor it adds to this sandwich.

Add one tablespoon of freshly chopped chives! The fresh onion flavor this adds to this sandwich is amazing! If you don’t have chives, you can substitute ¼ teaspoon of onion powder.

Here’s my favorite tip for making beautiful fluffy scrambled eggs every single time! Add one tablespoon of cold water! Yep…water! I can hear y’all screaming “NO! You add milk!”

Hey!!! I’m older than dirt and I had a lady from the National Egg Council come to my High School cooking class back in the day! (100 years ago! Lol)

I’ve never forgotten the advice she gave us that day in class. She said “Add water for fluffy light eggs, add milk for a heavier, creamier scrambled egg”. She was right then and she’s still right! So you choose your preference, but I love light and fluffy!

Give that a good whisk and set the egg mixture aside as you prepare the other ingredients for this tasty sandwich.

You don’t have to toast the croissant rolls…but is there anyone who doesn’t like a warm, extra buttery croissant roll? The thought leaves this girl speechless!!! Yikes!

In all seriousness though…what makes THIS breakfast sandwich stand apart from all the others is the extra touches! The herbs and seasonings in the scrambled eggs and the toasted croissant.

Cut each large croissant roll in half, length-wise, to create a top and bottom. Lightly butter the inside of each half of the croissant rolls. This will allow the buns to get really golden brown and crispy inside.

In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, place the butter side down and toast until golden brown. You may have to do them in two or three batches.

Once toasted, place your croissant buns on a platter and set aside while you prepare the Canadian bacon and scrambled eggs.

Why are we “cooking” Canadian Bacon? Is it necessary? Great questions! We’re actually just lightly browning it and warming it through. No one wants a cold piece of ham on their hot breakfast sandwich!

In that same large skillet, you just toasted the croissant rolls, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the slices of Canadian bacon in the preheated skillet. Cook until lightly brown and turn over to brown on the other side. Keep a watchful eye on the bacon, being careful not to overcook it, or it will dry out.

Remove from skillet, place on a plate and cover with foil.

Remember that skillet that you’ve been using? We’re not done with it yet! One of the things I really love about this hot breakfast idea is that you can use just one pan!

Place the skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the preheated skillet. Give the egg mixture one last whisk to make sure everything is well combined.

Carefully pour the egg mixture into the preheated skillet with melted butter. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the outer edges of the cooked egg towards the center and continue going around the pan pushing the cooked edges towards the center until the eggs are completely cooked.

Once cooked, divide scrambled eggs into 4 equal servings.

To assemble the croissant breakfast sandwich, place half a slice of cheese on the bottom of each croissant roll. Top with two slices of warm Canadian bacon, add one serving of scrambled eggs, and top with another half-slice of cheese.

Finish by placing the top of each toasted layered buttery croissant bun on top!

Breakfast is ready! Serve immediately.

Note you can also make them ahead for the week. I share my tips below on how to do that.

This sandwich is truly heavenly! The croissant melts in your mouth, the eggs are tender, fluffy, savory and delectable! The Canadian bacon adds a hint of salty smokiness and the melty cheese holds it all together!

I like to pair these delectable sandwiches with my Easy Skillet Pan Fried Ranch Potatoes and a side of fresh seasonal fruit!

The recipe can be made ahead of time. I recommend that you “under cook” the eggs slightly if preparing them ahead of time. This will prevent the egg from over-cooking in the microwave when reheating.

Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. They can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.

To reheat, unwrap each sandwich, place the sandwich on a plate, and reheat in the microwave for 45 seconds on high.
