Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sandwich later.
Cook Bacon: In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Scramble Eggs: In a separate pan, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through. Remove the eggs from heat.
Prepare Croissant: Slice the croissant horizontally in half and lay the bottom half flat on a baking sheet.
Add Cheese: Place a slice of Gouda cheese evenly over the bottom half of the croissant.
Layer Bacon: Arrange the crispy bacon slices on top of the Gouda cheese.
Add Eggs: Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the bacon layer.
Assemble Sandwich: Cap the sandwich with the top half of the croissant.
Butter Top: Spread a thin layer of butter on top of the croissant to enhance browning and flavor during baking.
Bake Sandwich: Place the assembled sandwich in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the Gouda cheese melts and the croissant becomes slightly toasted and golden.
Cool and Serve: Remove the sandwich from the oven, let it cool for about a minute to avoid burns, then serve immediately.
Enjoy: Indulge in your delicious homemade Bacon Gouda Starbucks Breakfast Sandwich, perfect for a quick yet flavorful morning meal.

Notes

Use fresh croissants for best texture and flavor; store-bought or bakery croissants work well.
Adjust salt and pepper to your taste when seasoning the eggs.
You can substitute Gouda cheese with other mild melting cheeses like Havarti or Monterey Jack if preferred.
For a crispier sandwich, you can toast the croissant halves lightly before assembling.
Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated, then reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
