Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and toast the croissants by placing them cut side down on a baking sheet for a few minutes, or use a toaster if they fit.
- While the croissants are toasting, prepare your eggs using a soft scramble technique. Cook them in a skillet over medium-low heat, gently stirring to form soft curds without overcooking.
- Once the croissants are golden, begin assembling the sandwiches by layering on the ingredients. Start with a spread of tangy tomato sauce, followed by the soft scrambled eggs.
- Add a slice of pepper jack cheese, crispy bacon, and a generous scoop of guacamole on top of the eggs. Serve immediately to enjoy the flavors at their best.
Ingredients

FAQ
- Can I substitute the croissant with a different type of bread?
- Absolutely! While buttery croissants are highly recommended for their flavor and texture, an English muffin can be a great alternative if needed.
- What are some alternative sauces I can use?
- You have several options for sauces. Magic Green Sauce is a standout choice, but you could also consider salsa or your preferred hot sauce to top off your sandwich.
- How can I make this sandwich vegetarian?
- Simply leave out the bacon. You might want to add roasted mushrooms as a tasty vegetarian substitute.
- Is it possible to freeze this sandwich for later?
- This particular breakfast sandwich is best enjoyed fresh. If you’re looking for a freezer-friendly version, consider trying a meal prep breakfast sandwich with sheet pan eggs.
- What other meats can be used in this sandwich?

Tips
- Optimal Egg Cooking: For the best soft scrambled eggs, cook them on medium-low heat, gently moving the spatula across the pan to form soft curds. Keep a close watch to prevent overcooking, as the soft texture is key to this sandwich.
- Croissant Toasting Tip: Achieve a golden, buttery texture by briefly toasting your croissants in a 350-degree oven. If they fit, using a toaster is a convenient alternative.
- Customizable Variations: Feel free to experiment with different bread options, like English muffins or tortillas, and additional toppings such as crispy hashbrowns, pickled onions, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Vegetarian and Meat Alternatives: To make the sandwich vegetarian, simply omit the bacon or replace it with roasted mushrooms. Alternatively, try smoked ham or a sausage patty for a different meaty twist.
