Good to know

Chef's tip

For ultra-creamy scrambled eggs, take them off the heat while they are still slightly glossy: the residual heat will finish the cooking without drying them out 🥚✨

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The croissant turns doughy and the scrambled eggs lose their soft texture after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

The croissant softens and the scrambled eggs turn grainy. Prepare and eat immediately.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Fresh assembly is needed. Scrambled eggs and croissants do not hold up to advance preparation.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheating strongly discouraged. The microwave would make the croissant soft and the eggs rubbery, spoiling the texture.

Variations

Use Swiss cheese or another melting cheese.
Serve immediately.
Cook in the oven or in a skillet.

Mistakes to avoid

Overcooking the eggs: they should stay slightly moist.
Separating the two halves: cut without separating completely.
Leaving it in the oven too long: 5 to 8 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a savory croissant?

Cut the croissants in half without separating them, make creamy scrambled eggs, fill with ham, eggs and cheese, then bake 5 to 8 minutes at 180 °C until the cheese is melted.

How do you make good scrambled eggs?

Beat the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper, melt the butter over low heat, pour in the eggs and stir until creamy and slightly moist.

Which cheese should you choose?

60 g of a good melting cheese such as Swiss, placed on the eggs before baking, until the cheese melts and the croissant is golden.

When should you serve it?

Serve immediately, while the croissant is golden and the cheese is melted. It suits a savory breakfast, brunch or express meal.
