Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 croissant
- 3 slices of turkey
- 2 slices of bacon, cooked
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 1 leaf of lettuce
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 croissant, 3 slices of turkey, 2 slices of cooked bacon, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, 1/4 avocado sliced, 1 leaf of lettuce, and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat if you prefer to warm the croissant slightly for added texture.
- While the skillet is heating, slice the croissant in half horizontally. Be careful not to cut all the way through; you want to create a hinge.
- If using the skillet, place the croissant halves cut-side down in the pan for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on the bottom half of the croissant.
- Layer the sandwich starting with the 3 slices of turkey on top of the mayonnaise.
- Next, add the 2 slices of cooked bacon over the turkey.
- Place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the bacon.
- Add the sliced avocado on top of the cheese, followed by the leaf of lettuce.
- Carefully place the top half of the croissant onto the sandwich to complete it.
- If desired, you can return the entire sandwich to the skillet for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly and warm the fillings.
- Once finished, remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips
- Choose a fresh, high-quality croissant for the best texture and flavor. Slightly toasting it will enhance its buttery crispness.
- For extra flavor, consider lightly toasting the bacon in the skillet before assembling the sandwich to maximize its crispiness.
- If you want to melt the cheese perfectly, cover the skillet with a lid for 30-60 seconds after adding the cheese - this will create a steamy environment that helps it melt evenly.
- Use ripe avocado for maximum creaminess, and slice it just before assembling to prevent browning.
- For a gourmet touch, you can add a light spread of Dijon mustard or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or chives to elevate the flavor profile.
- If you're meal prepping, keep the ingredients separate and assemble just before eating to maintain the croissant's crisp texture.
