Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 croissants
- 200g steak, cooked and sliced
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Begin by preheating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- While the skillet is heating, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk the eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue cooking until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 2-3 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Next, take the cooked and sliced steak and warm it in the same skillet for about 1-2 minutes, just until heated through. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Slice the croissants in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom half. If desired, you can lightly toast the cut sides in the skillet for added texture.
- On the bottom half of each croissant, layer the cooked steak evenly. Top the steak with the scrambled eggs, distributing them equally between the two croissants.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the scrambled eggs, allowing it to melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Carefully place the top half of the croissants over the filled bottom halves to create a sandwich.
- Return the stuffed croissants to the skillet, cut side down, and add a little more butter to the skillet if necessary. Grill the croissants for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Once cooked, remove the stuffed croissants from the skillet and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Stuffed Breakfast Croissant with Steak warm!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, buttery croissants and high-quality steak for the best flavor. The better the ingredients, the more delicious your dish will be!
- Perfectly Cooked Eggs: To achieve creamy scrambled eggs, avoid overcooking. Stir gently and remove them from the heat while they’re still slightly underdone, as they will continue to cook in residual heat.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative! Add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition, or swap the cheese for your favorite type.
- Toast for Texture: Lightly toasting the cut sides of the croissant before assembling can add a delightful crunch to your breakfast sandwich.
- Monitor the Heat: When grilling the croissants, keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning. A medium-low setting works best for achieving that golden-brown crust without overcooking the insides.
- Serve Immediately: These croissants are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet. Serve them warm for the ultimate breakfast indulgence!
