# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm flaky pastry and soft scrambled eggs creates the most luxurious texture
  • Everything comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like something from a French café
  • You can customize the fillings based on whats in your fridge without losing the magic
02 -
  • Overcooking the eggs is the biggest mistake here, pull them off the heat while they still look slightly undercooked
  • Let the bacon drain thoroughly or your bottom croissant will get soggy
  • The oven step at the end transforms these from good to absolutely incredible
03 -
  • Buy croissants from a local bakery rather than the grocery store bakery section for the best flaky texture
  • Grate your own cheese instead of using pre sliced for faster melting
