Kinda Crostini Breakfast Sandwich
review
Private Recipe by

I created this breakfast sandwich one summer morning as a result of having an abundance of cherry tomatoes and basil in the garden (AND on my kitchen counter tops, lol!) I used a day-old, all-butter croissant, finely shredded Italian cheese, red and yellow cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and a farm-fresh fried egg. I then added a pinch of Maldon salt, fresh pepper and a drizzle of balsamic and my taste buds were in heaven! It was sooo good, and so different! Nothing "same old" here!

How To Make kinda crostini breakfast croissant

  • 1
    Place croissant halves on toaster oven baking sheet; scatter cheese over top of halves.
  • 2
    In a small nonstick skillet, heat butter/oil on medium/medium high heat.
  • 3
    Break egg into skillet.
  • 4
    Place croissant in toaster oven; set oven to broil (watch carefully so as not to over brown.) Remove when cheese is melted and has begun to brown slightly.
  • 5
    Fry egg, turning once, breaking yolk if desired, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • 6
    Remove croissant halves to serving plate; place 1/2 of the sliced tomatoes on top of cheese on one of the halves; place egg on top of tomatoes; add remaining tomato slices; sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired. (*Note: A light drizzle of balsamic vinegar, at this point, is really good, but optional.)

    Scatter chiffonade of basil over tomatoes; place remaining croissant half, cheese side down, on top. Serve immediately.
