# Instructions:
01 -
Carefully slice the croissants in half horizontally, making sure not to cut all the way through so they open like a pocket. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), place the croissants on a baking sheet, and toast them lightly for about 5 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
02 -
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted and tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the cooked spinach to a plate and set aside.
03 -
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper. In the same skillet used for the spinach, add a little more butter or oil if needed. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy.
04 -
Once the eggs are cooked to a soft, fluffy consistency, stir in the shredded cheese and let it melt into the eggs. If you prefer your cheese more melted, cover the skillet for a minute to allow it to fully incorporate with the eggs.
05 -
Take each toasted croissant and place a generous spoonful of the cheesy scrambled eggs on the bottom half. Top with a portion of the sautéed spinach. If using, add sliced tomatoes, avocado, or a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa for extra flavor.
06 -
Close each sandwich by placing the top half of the croissant over the fillings, gently pressing down to keep everything together. Serve immediately while still warm, alongside fresh fruit and a hot beverage if desired.
# Notes:

These warm croissant breakfast sandwiches combine buttery, flaky pastry with creamy eggs, melted cheese, and nutritious spinach for a satisfying morning meal.

For a time-saving option, you can toast the croissants and cook the spinach the night before, then simply reheat and add freshly scrambled eggs in the morning.
