Garlic Butter Breakfast Croissanwich Recipe 

Toast croissants – Although this sandwich is perfect as it is, I like to take it the next level with a generous addition of garlic butter. Yes, the classic combination of melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley and a touch of salt. Mix all the ingredients together and brush the croissants with this mixture. These croissants go straight into the oven and bake until you get that crispy, golden texture.

Key elements  – This croissanwich consists of five totally different elements that are sandwiched between two halves of crispy golden croissants. The first layer is a generous spread of mayo. I opted for the regular mayonnaise but feel free to use flavored ones for next level flavor. 

Sandwiches are not complete with vibrant veggies, right? Romaine lettuce and sliced tomatoes are imperative in this sandwich. It’s then topped with crispy bacon followed by fluffy scrambled eggs. If you are not a huge fan of scrambled eggs, opt for fried eggs or grated boiled eggs. Top with more lettuce and tomatoes or even sliced avocados.
