Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large halal-certified croissants (fresh or toasted)
- 4 large cage-free eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a halal cheese of your choice)
- 4 slices of turkey bacon or halal sausage patties (or plant-based alternatives)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking eggs)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Croissants
- Toast the Croissants: Slice the croissants in half and lightly toast them in a toaster or on a skillet for a minute or two. This ensures that they’re warm and slightly crispy, ready to hold the fillings. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth, then set the sauce aside.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
- Scramble the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until well-combined.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still moist and fluffy. Remove from heat when the eggs are cooked through, but still soft. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs and let it melt.
Step 4: Cook the Turkey Bacon (or Sausage)
- Cook the Bacon: In the same skillet or a separate one, cook the turkey bacon (or sausage patties) according to package instructions until crispy and golden brown. You can also grill or pan-fry the turkey bacon for a crispy texture.
Step 5: Assemble the Sandwiches
- Layer the Ingredients: On the bottom half of each toasted croissant, spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce.
- Add the Eggs: Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs onto the croissant, making sure each sandwich has an equal amount.
- Add the Turkey Bacon: Place a slice of crispy turkey bacon (or sausage) on top of the eggs.
- Complete the Sandwich: Top each sandwich with the other half of the croissant. Press gently to secure the filling in place.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley if desired. Serve immediately while the sandwiches are warm and the cheese is melted.
