You can grab croissants at just about any grocery store in the bakery section. Of if you’re getting really fancy, grab some from your favorite local bakery.

I love sharp cheddar cheese on these breakfast sandwiches but if you prefer a different kind of cheese, use it. I’m thinking smoked gouda would be ridiculously delicious as well.

If you prefer sausage in your breakfast sandwiches you can definitely sub in a sausage patty for the bacon. Choose you own adventure.

How to Make Baked Breakfast Croissant Sandwiches

Start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees F. While the oven is heating up, prepare the sandwiches.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Drain just about all of the bacon grease out of the pan, but leave enough to lightly coat the pan.

Lower the heat to medium-low. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Scramble your eggs then set aside.

Now it’s time to assemble the sandwiches. Slice the croissants in half and lay the bottom halves in a 13 x 9 baking pan. Eveny divide the scrambled eggs among the croissants. Top with bacon, cheese then top with the tops of the croissants.

This next step is what puts these sandwiches on a totally new level of deliciousness. Whisk together the melted butter, yellow mustard and poppy seeds in a small bowl. Brush the butter mixture over the croissants.

Bake the sandwiches for about 15 to 20 minutes until hot and crispy.

That Buttery Topping

The combination of the butter and mustard adds richness and a little bit of a sharp bite to these croissant sandwiches. It doesn’t taste distinctly like mustard but just provides more interest and makes you go “hmm, what is that?”

The butter makes the exteriors extra crispy which is never a bad thing.

Make Ahead Option

If you don’t have lots of time in the morning but still want a hot, delicious breakfast you are in luck. You can put together these breakfast croissant sandwiches the night before.

You can follow the assembly steps all the way up to the buttery sauce on top. The reason you want to wait on the butter to keep them from getting soggy. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, whisk together the sauce, brush it over the croissants and bake them. Add an additional 5 minutes to the baking time since they will be colder than usual.
