# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between shattering crisp croissant exterior and pillowy soft eggs creates pure breakfast magic
  • These sandwiches come together in under 30 minutes but taste like something from a fancy cafe
  • Endlessly customizable with whatever cheese, meat, or greens you have in your fridge
02 -
  • Dry your tomato slices on paper towels before layering or your bottom croissant will get unpleasantly soggy
  • Overcooking the eggs is the biggest mistake so pull them when they still look slightly underdone
  • Let the bacon drain thoroughly on paper towels to prevent excess grease from soaking through the bread
03 -
  • Warm the croissants for 2 minutes before assembling so they toast beautifully in the final oven step
  • Use a microplane to grate fresh Parmesan over the top right after they come out of the oven
