Bacon Egg Croissant Sandwich

A homemade Bacon And Egg Croissant Sandwich is a delicious, filling breakfast that we all love. Full of protein, healthy fats and scrumptious carbs this delicious sandwich makes the perfect meal that you can enjoy any time of the day.

We use flaky Costco croissants, farm fresh eggs, a good quality bacon and high quality organic coconut oil. This recipe can be made to suite your personal preferences which is one more reason we love it so much. Homemade croissants can be a tall order, but they are well worth it if you prefer to make your own, you can switch out the meat protein, use butter in place of coconut oil, and add extras to your breakfast croissant if you wish!

We walk you through our way of making this delicious morning meal, and also share our tips for cooking the absolute best over easy egg for an even cook with that warm, runny yolk that we all crave.

Is a bacon egg croissant healthy?

We all love breakfast sandwiches, and when they are made with buttery croissants and bacon they are quickly added to the favorites list. But are they a healthy breakfast option? First off, it’s important to remember that the term healthy can mean many different things and largely depends on what you’re looking for in healthy.

A bacon egg croissant breakfast sandwich can be made using good quality, fresh ingredients which will cut down on extra fillers, additives, preservatives and other low quality extras that are often found in our foods these days. This sandwich has a good amount of protein from both the bacon and the egg, roughly 16 grams. Sodium and fats will be high because of the bacon, the egg and the croissant pastry.

It is important to remember that the quality of fats, protein and carbs is of higher consideration than the amount for most of us. When you are filling your diet with high quality, naturally sourced macros you are eating a healthy, balanced diet. Croissants are not ‘healthy’ but there is nothing wrong with a little indulgence from time to time, especially when it comes to pastries.

How do you cook a perfect over easy egg?

Cooking a perfect over easy egg is simple once you learn the technique. This is something that we all want to master because there is nothing better than an evenly cooked egg with a warm, runny yolk.

Cooking an egg over easy starts with the pan, select a non stick or stainless steel pan with a thick base to ensure even cooking and that your eggs won’t stick and fall apart. Heat the pan slowly to medium low and place a dollop of butter or coconut oil to the pan allowing it to melt.

Carefully crack your egg into the pan over the melted butter or oil, taking care not to break the yolk in the process. Allow the egg to cook until the whites are no longer runny, and have a noticeable edge developed. To finish the egg with a steam and cook the remaining top portion of the egg, pour a bit of water into the pan and cover the egg with a small lid. This will steam the top of the yolk, warm it through, and cook any remaining whites around the yolk that may still be runny and uncooked.

Using a spatula gently lift the egg out of the pan and place on your lightly toasted croissant or bread slice.
