The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich with eggs, bacon, guacamole, chunky tomato sauce, pepper jack cheese, all on a toasted croissant. Kinda spicy. Kinda buttery. Kinda crunchy. Totally over the top.
Gooooood mooooorning! Today I bring you one and only one very important message:
This breakfast sandwich is life.
Over-the-top, super-indulgently, must-make, weekend brunch LIFE. Sleep in, wake up, pull on sweatshirt, assemble bed head top knot, grab coffee, make sandwich. Let’s go!
What Ingredients Are In This Breakfast Sandwich
Breakfast sandwich includes but not limited to:
- Croissant
- Salty bacon (thick-cut, please)
- Egg (SOFT SCRAMBLE because it changed your life too, right?)
- Garlic Butter Tomato Sauce
- Guacamole
- I extend all my breakfast sandwich love to any variations of this creation. English muffins. Pepperjack Cheese. Gouda cheese. Roasted red peppers. Magic Green Sauce. Fried eggs with a runny yolk.
Let’s Assemble Those Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
Making these sandwiches could not be easier! Here’s what you’re going to do.
- Get your croissants nice and golden with a quick pop in the oven for a minute.
- Cook up your eggs in a skillet over medium-low heat until they’re perfectly soft. Gently swipe your spatula across the pan when the edges of the eggs start to create soft curds. Watch these closely so that you don’t overcook them.
- Build your breakfast sammie! Pile high some crispy bacon, tangy garlic butter sauce, guacamole (obviously), and a slice of pepperjack cheese. To keep it a bit more mild, you could also use a slice of cheddar cheese instead. Holy moly! You’re about to be in actual breakfast heaven with this.
How To Make Eggs For a Breakfast Sandwich
👆🏼 The essential is obviously the soft scramble, which we talked about at length earlier this week. This is no McD’s breakfast sandwich (although, to be fair, I have been known to eat and love a Sausage Biscuit with Egg in moments of weakness). But no, there are no perfectly formed egg disk here.
We’re talking about super creamy, gently cooked, soft scrambled eggs. Life changing.
If scrambled eggs aren’t your thing, you have options. You could make eggs on a sheet pan for a crowd. Cook your eggs fried or sunny side up. Poach it. Your choice!
Breakfast Sandwich Variations To Try
Though we really love these breakfast sammies with bacon, garlic butter sauce, guac, and cheese, it’s really a choose-your-own adventure here and there are endless combos that would work well and be very, very delicious! Maybe you want to try a waffle or a tortilla wrap instead of a croissant? Love it! Those waffle nooks and crannies are perfect for holding your sammie components. Perhaps a layer of crispy fried hashbrowns or potatoes tucked in there? That’s a yes from us! Did we hear someone say a little pickled onion topping for tang or hot sauce or some heat? We like the way you roll! Big flavors ahead!
BREAKFAST SANDWICH: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use a different kind of bread for this sandwich?
I mean, you could… but also a buttery toasted croissant here is just TOO GOOD. An English muffin would work great here in a pinch as well.
What other sauces could I use?
Magic Green Sauce would also be a REAL WIN here. Salsa. Your favorite hot sauce. Whatever you like to top on your eggs.
What could I serve this with for brunch?
A delicious simple arugula or mixed greens salad with vinaigrette would be great here. Also: fruit, juice and/or mimosas, pastries of some kind, and (obviously) lots of coffee.
How could I make this vegetarian?
Just omit the bacon! Maybe even replace with roasted mushrooms!? Yum.
Could I freeze this breakfast sandwich?
This is more of a fresh, slow weekend morning kind of breakfast sandwich. If you’re looking for something to prep ahead and freeze, take a look at our Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches with some easy sheet pan eggs.
In the last month: I’ve made these for myself, then our team, then for our friend Joe when he stayed with us for a few days, and again during the week to make life a little more manageable. Overkill and I care zero percent. ♡
It is just THE ULTIMATE breakfast sandwich.
Go pick up some croissants.
Crushing hard on that weekend lyfe.
