Print Recipe

A flaky, salty, and creamy breakfast sandwich featuring fresh croissants, prosciutto, brie, and softly scrambled eggs. Quick and easy to make, perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large fresh croissants (preferably butter croissants, day-old works well)
  • 4 thin slices prosciutto (San Daniele or Parma recommended)
  • 4 ounces brie cheese, sliced
  • 2 large eggs, free-range or organic if possible
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • A small handful fresh arugula (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or fig jam (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice each croissant in half horizontally with a sharp knife. Be gentle to avoid squishing the flaky layers. Set aside.
  2. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and lightly beat with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Pour in the eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until softly scrambled but still moist, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Wipe the skillet clean or use a second pan. Add a small pat of butter and place croissant halves cut-side down.
  6. Toast over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. On the bottom half of each croissant, layer 2 slices of prosciutto, followed by sliced brie.
  8. Add a spoonful of scrambled eggs on top. If using, add a small handful of fresh arugula and a smear of Dijon mustard or fig jam for extra flavor.
  9. Place the croissant top halves over the filling and press gently.
  10. Let the sandwich rest for a minute so the brie melts slightly from the warm eggs.
  11. Cut the sandwich in half if desired and enjoy immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

Cook eggs gently over medium-low heat to keep them tender. Toast croissants in butter for a golden, flavorful crust. Let sandwich rest briefly to melt brie perfectly. Avoid microwaving to keep croissant texture intact. For runny yolk, substitute scrambled eggs with fried or poached eggs. Vegetarian versions can swap prosciutto with sautéed mushrooms or grilled zucchini.
