# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Buttery croissant layers get even better when warmed through with melty cheese inside
  • Perfect balance of rich eggs, crispy bacon, and fresh vegetables feels fancy but comes together in 30 minutes
02 -
  • Don't overcook the scrambled eggs because they'll continue cooking slightly in the warm oven
  • Let the bacon drain well on paper towels so your sandwich isn't greasy
03 -
  • Buy croissants from a bakery rather than the grocery store bakery aisle if you can find them
  • Grate your own cheese instead of using pre-sliced for faster melting
