# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of warm flaky croissant and melty cheese creates the most incredible texture contrast
  • These come together in under 30 minutes but taste like something from a fancy café
  • You can customize the fillings based on whatever is in your fridge
02 -
  • Overcooking the eggs is the biggest mistake here because they continue cooking slightly in the warm oven
  • Let the bacon drain really well or your croissants will get soggy from excess grease
  • Assembly order matters because the cheese slice touching the warm eggs helps it melt perfectly
03 -
  • Buy croissants from a bakery rather than the grocery store bakery aisle because the quality difference is remarkable
  • Let your eggs come to room temperature before cooking so they scramble more evenly
  • Warm the croissants for two minutes before assembling if they are not fresh from the bakery
