Ingredients

• 2 slices Low-sodium turkey bacon
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 slice Low-sodium Swiss cheese
• 1 whole Croissant
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Chives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the low-sodium turkey bacon slices. Cook until they are browned and crisp, about 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 3

In a small bowl, crack the eggs and add a pinch of black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt, coating the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Pour the eggs into the skillet. Stir gently and continuously with a spatula until soft curds form and eggs are fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and set aside.

Step 6

While the eggs are cooking, cut the croissant in half horizontally and place it on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Place the slice of low-sodium Swiss cheese on the top half of the croissant. Warm the croissant in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the croissant is lightly toasted.

Step 8

Remove the croissant from the oven. Assemble the sandwich by placing the cooked turkey bacon on the bottom half of the croissant, followed by the scrambled eggs.

Step 9

Top the eggs with the cheese-topped croissant half. If using, sprinkle chives over the eggs for an added flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium bacon egg and cheese croissant.
