Ingredients
- 4 croissants
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices of Canadian bacon
- ½ cup (60 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup (55 g) grape tomatoes, diced
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) green onion, chopped
- ¼ cup (40 g) feta cheese, crumbled
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each croissant lengthwise across the top, leaving the bottom intact to create a boat. Gently press the centre down to make room for the filling.
Divide the shredded cheddar cheese evenly among the croissants. Layer with the Canadian bacon, followed by the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, and green onion.
Carefully crack one egg into the centre of each croissant. Season with the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden and crisp, the cheese is melted, and the eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with the crumbled feta cheese and garnish with additional fresh basil, if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
