Ingredients

- 1 large croissant (fresh or day-old)

- 1 large egg

- 1 slice of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite melting cheese)

- A handful of fresh spinach leaves (optional)

- 2 to 3 slices of tomato (optional)

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

1. Slice the croissant in half horizontally, keeping the two halves together like a bun.

2. Lightly toast the croissant halves in a toaster oven, dry pan, or regular toaster until warm and slightly crisp. Set aside.

3. Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.

4. Break the egg into the pan. For a fried egg, cook until the white is set and the yolk is still runny, about 2 to 3 minutes. For a scrambled egg, whisk the egg in a bowl first, then pour into the pan and stir gently until cooked through.

5. Season the egg with a pinch of salt and pepper while it cooks.

6. If you are using spinach, add it to the pan for the last 30 seconds to wilt slightly.

7. Place the bottom half of the toasted croissant on a plate. Top with the cooked egg.

8. Add the slice of cheese on top of the warm egg so it begins to melt.

9. Add tomato slices and wilted spinach if using.

10. Close the sandwich with the top half of the croissant. Press down gently and serve warm.

Tips for the Perfect Breakfast Sandwich

For extra flavour, add a thin spread of mayonnaise or Dijon mustard to the croissant before layering. If you prefer a crispier croissant, toast it in a pan with a little butter until golden. To save time on busy mornings, scramble the egg in advance and reheat it briefly in the microwave.

You can also customize the sandwich with other fillings like sliced avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or smoked fish.
