- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) half and half

Instructions
- Slice croissants horizontally and place on baking sheet, toasting at 350°F for 7-8 minutes until edges turn golden and crisp.
- Heat skillet over medium-high temperature, cook turkey bacon until edges crisp and center becomes evenly browned, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Whisk eggs with half and half, creating a smooth, creamy mixture with delicate consistency.
- Melt butter in non-stick pan over medium-low heat, pour egg mixture and gently fold until soft, pillowy curds form, avoiding overcooking.
- Layer sharp cheddar cheese on croissant bottom, creating initial melting foundation.
- Arrange crispy bacon strips across melting cheese, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully spoon scrambled eggs over bacon, maintaining gentle, fluffy texture.
- Crown with croissant top, then transfer assembled sandwiches to preheated oven.
- Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes, allowing cheese to fully melt and sandwich to heat thoroughly.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 2 minutes, then slice diagonally for elegant presentation.
Notes
- Toast croissants lightly to enhance their buttery flavor and create a crisp exterior without drying them out completely.
- Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch and robust flavor, ensuring it’s cooked evenly and not too greasy.
- Whisk eggs with a splash of cream for extra richness and fold gently to create soft, pillowy scrambled eggs that won’t become rubbery.
- Try different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, gouda, or pepper jack to add unique flavor profiles to the sandwich.
