Ingredients

• 4 slices Vegetarian bacon
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 whole Croissants
• 2 slices Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to lightly crisp and warm the croissants.

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the vegetarian bacon slices according to the package instructions until crispy. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center, until they begin to set but are still creamy and slightly runny.

Step 6

Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Place them on a baking sheet and put them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until lightly crisp.

Step 7

Layer one slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each croissant.

Step 8

Divide the scrambled eggs evenly onto each croissant bottom, over the cheese slice. Top with two slices of vegetarian bacon on each.

Step 9

Optionally, sprinkle fresh chives over the bacon.

Step 10

Cover with the croissant tops, then serve immediately, allowing the heat to melt the cheese slightly as desired.
