Egg & Cheese Croissants

I saw a YouTube video with this idea, and tried it from memory. I think it would probably have been easier with the larger sized croissants, but this is what I had.

I bought these to make pigs 🐽 in a blanket but the kids weren’t impressed. 🤷‍♀️

So this is my attempt to get them to eat them so we can finish what is left in the house.

While I usually tend stay away from things that are “enriched” because let’s be real, they aren’t enriched with anything good, as a matter of fact, the good that was in it, has probably been removed, I occasionally make eggceptions 😂. Check out this great article about Enriched food

Back to the point… so even though these croissant are made with enriched flour… it’s ok to have some crap food every once in a while. Just make sure you are having more healthy than unhealthy, and I don’t mean 51%/49% I mean more like 80%/20%.

So in order to know what is going in my family’s body, I like to make most of our food at home, because the pre-made, pre-packaged foods usually have things in them that are probably not so good for you. But, I am a busy mom, so sometimes we do have pre-packaged or fast food… But that isn’t what we have most of the time.

So…. if you must go to a fast food place and have an egg and cheese croissant, why not try making your own at home instead, you’ll save money, and you’ll know exactly what is in the food you are eating. You can easily heat them up and keep the crispy flaky layer by popping them into your Air Fryer (I LOVE my Air Fryer, I am actually selling my old toaster oven because it takes up more space and I love the simplicity of the Air Fryer!)

First, scramble your eggs and try to keep them flat as you cook them.

I used my Tupperware microwave egg cooker.

Pour the egg in, pop on the top, pop onto the microwave for 2.5 minutes and it’s ready to go!

Next… Open your croissant 🥐 package. These always freak me out because of the POP. But… I remember in the video he hit the container on his counter to open it. Genius! It pops it open as it hits the counter so it didn’t scare me. ❤️

I had my second batch of eggs cooking, but this is all you need to make your croissants! You could add bacon or sausage too if you like, but I tried just eggs and cheese this time.

Layer your egg then cheese then wrap it closed.

I followed the baking directions on the packaging.

So these are baked and ready to go, and I’ll be offering them up at breakfast time to get my kids to try something other than the usual, cereal, yogurt, or bar.

Let me know what you think!
