Spinach Egg Croissant Breakfast Sandwich





Food list

  • Eggs - 1-3 eggs for each sandwich 
  • Salt
  • Oil for pan 
  • Cheese
  • Spinach - washed and dried - I use a salad spinner
  • Croissant 
Instructions to make 2 croissant sandwiches

In small bowl whip with a fork...

        3  Eggs
            Salt to taste


Pour into an oiled, heated omelet pan... 


Pull eggs away from the edges...



Carefully flip the eggs over when they are partly set...


Add a whole bunch of fresh, spinach - as much as the pan can hold... 



Place a lid over it...




Turn the heat to low ( I use a gas stove so adjust heating times accordingly if you use electric) and wait for the spinach to start wilting. I start preparing my croissants while this is cooking. SEE BELOW - Preparing the Croissant for Eating.


Use a spatula to turn the eggs and spinach over. Let the spinach cook face down on very low heat until it is very wilted...





When the spinach looks cooked flip everything over again...



Cut egg and spinach in half and place inside the prepared croissants... 




Put the top half of the croissant on top of everything and eat while hot. 

Preparing the Croissants for Eating

Cut the croissants in half. I use a long bread knife by placing them on the edge of a plate with a slight raised edge. Cut through the croissants while keeping the edge of the knife on the plate during the entire cut... 

Add cheese slices of your choice...


Microwave for 15-25 seconds OR melt the cheese and heat the croissant by adding the egg and spinach first and placing the entire sandwich into the hot pan, cover and place on very low heat or even with the heat off for a minute or two. ... 



Preparing Croissants for Freezing

I usually get a big flat of 12 croissants at Costco and use some and then freeze the others to make later.

Cut all the croissants in half using the same method as explained above...


Place into bags and seal them. I use Ziplocs.



Place into freezer directly or place all together into a large seal-able bag. Use in  a timely manner so they don't get freezer burn. Thaw in the refrigerator or microwave briefly to thaw when you are ready to use them.
