Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice the top off each of the 6 mini croissants and carefully hollow out some of the inside to create space for filling.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoons whole milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring continuously for 3-4 minutes until soft scrambled but still moist.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly into the hollowed croissants, then sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Step 5: Place the filled croissants on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
