Air Fryer Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches

My family loves a great Air Fryer Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches. Made with a great amount of care, it is created by using the best parts of breakfast, eggs, bacon, and cheese, all served up in a croissant. 

This makes for a great meal. You can either it for brunch, lunch or even dinner. (Is there anything better than breakfast for dinner?)

Most people dry through the fast-food restaurants for a GREAT breakfast sandwich, but you can easily make yours at home with the help of the air fryer.

So, next time you head to the store, grab the ingredients and make this perfect breakfast sandwich within your air gry. Nothing is best than a toasted croissant filled with meat, egg, and a layer of cheese!

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Croissant Breakfast Sandwich

 

• Bacon: Crispy, savory bacon adds a deliciously smoky flavor that elevates any breakfast sandwich.
• Eggs: Fluffy scrambled eggs provide a rich and creamy texture, making each bite satisfying and nutritious.
• Croissants: Buttery, flaky croissants serve as the perfect base, offering a delightful crunch that complements the filling.
• Cheese: Melted cheese adds a creamy richness, bringing all the flavors together in a mouthwatering combination.

How To Make Air Fryer Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches

Step One: Start by adding your bacon to the air fryer crisper basket. On the side of if you are making a bunch, you can run the air fryer once with the bacon and then again with the eggs. Or, if you are making 1/2 sandwiches, do half the basket with eggs and half the basket with bacon.

Step Two: Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. (This is optional, cook time may take 1-2 minutes longer if you do not preheat the air fryer) Spray your ramekins with cooking spray, and then crack one egg per ramekin into it. Add about 2 tablespoons of water into the ramekin. Set the ramekins into the air fryer basket, set the temperature to 360 degrees F, air fryer setting for 4 to 5 minutes.

Step Three: Cut your croissant in half, and then place the egg in it (you may have to cut the egg in half), add your cheese on top, and then top with the bacon.

Bacon egg and cheese croissant air fryer recipe tips

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh croissants, high-quality bacon, and fresh eggs for the best flavor.
• Pre-cook Bacon: Cook the bacon until it’s crispy before assembling the sandwich. This prevents the croissant from becoming soggy and ensures that the bacon remains crispy.
• Egg Preparation: Scramble or fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. If you want an easy option, consider using pre-cooked or liquid eggs.
• Layering: Layer the ingredients strategically. Start with the bottom croissant half, add cheese first (to help it melt), followed by bacon and eggs, then top with the other half of the croissant.
• Cooking Time: Air fry the assembled sandwiches for about 5-7 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure they don’t over-brown. Adjust time based on your air fryer model.
• Cheese Options: Experiment with different types of cheese such as cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for added flavor.
• Add Veggies: Consider adding spinach, tomatoes, or avocado slices for extra nutrition and flavor.
• Sauces and Spices: Add a splash of hot sauce, mustard, or your favorite condiment to enhance the flavor profile.
• Serve Immediately: Enjoy your croissant sandwiches right after air frying for the best texture and taste!

What types of cheese work best? Cheddar, Swiss, provolone, and pepper jack are all great options. Choose your favorite cheese for a delicious melty layer.

How do I prevent the croissants from getting soggy? Pre-cook the bacon until crispy, and be sure to use fresh eggs. Avoid adding too many wet ingredients, which can make the croissant soggy.

Can I make these sandwiches ahead of time? Yes! You can assemble the sandwiches ahead of time, wrap them tightly, and refrigerate or freeze them. Reheat in the air fryer when you’re ready to eat.

Can I add vegetables to the sandwich? Absolutely! Sliced tomatoes, spinach, or avocado can be delicious additions for extra flavor and nutrition.

What should I do if my air fryer is not big enough for all sandwiches?
If your air fryer can’t fit all the sandwiches at once, cook them in batches. Keep the cooked sandwiches warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.

Can I use other proteins besides bacon? Yes! You can substitute bacon with sausage, ham, or even plant-based protein options for a different flavor.

How do I store leftovers? Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before eating.
