Prep: 10 min | Cook: 9 min | Total: 30 min

Cost: $13.32 total, $6.66 per serving

Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Croissants (day‑old) (Slice each croissant into ½‑inch rounds)
  • 100 g Smoked salmon (Thinly sliced)
  • 4 pieces Large eggs (Room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (Divided: 1 tbsp for the pan, 1 tsp extra at the end)
  • 1 tablespoon Heavy cream (Adds richness and stops over‑cooking)
  • 1 pinch Sea salt
  • 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (Finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Slice and season croissants

    Using a sharp knife, cut each croissant into ½‑inch rounds. Lightly season the rounds with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.

    Time: PT2M

  2. Toast croissant rounds

    Heat a dry non‑stick skillet over medium heat. Add the croissant rounds in a single layer and toast 1‑2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp.

    Time: PT3M

    Temperature: Medium heat

  3. Arrange smoked salmon

    Lay the sliced smoked salmon over each toasted croissant round, allowing it to drape naturally.

    Time: PT1M

  4. Start scrambled eggs

    Return the skillet to medium‑low heat. Crack the four eggs directly into the pan, add 1 tablespoon butter, and begin stirring continuously with a spatula. Do NOT whisk beforehand.

    Time: PT4M

    Temperature: Medium‑low heat

  5. Finish eggs with butter, seasoning and cream

    When the eggs are still slightly runny, take the pan off the heat. Scrape the bottom and sides to release any sticking curds, add a small knob of butter, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the tablespoon of cream. Return to low heat for another 30 seconds, then fold in chopped chives.

    Time: PT3M

    Temperature: Low heat

  6. Plate and serve

    Place a generous spoonful of the creamy scrambled eggs on top of each salmon‑topped croissant round. Garnish with a few extra chive strands and serve immediately.

    Time: PT1M

Critical Success Points

  • Toasting croissant rounds in a dry pan without oil – this renders the internal butter and prevents sogginess.
  • Continuous low‑heat stirring of the eggs – essential for a creamy, not rubbery, texture.
  • Adding cream at the very end – stops the cooking process and keeps the eggs luxuriously soft.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot pan with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Use a sharp knife carefully when slicing croissants.
  • Cook eggs to at least 71°C (160°F) to ensure safety.
