Notes

  • Substitute ham, turkey sausage, or Canadian bacon for the bacon or sausage.
  • Try Swiss, provolone, American, or pepper jack cheese for different flavors.
  • Add avocado, caramelized onions, roasted peppers, pesto, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
  • Wrap leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze individually wrapped sandwiches for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat in a 325°F (165°C) oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes to keep the croissant crisp.
