Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Monster Croissant
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine your eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until you achieve a uniform, frothy mixture.
  3. Carefully slice each croissant in half lengthwise, creating a boat-like shape perfect for holding the delicious filling.
  4. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour in the egg mixture. Stir continuously, cooking the eggs for about 5-7 minutes until they are fluffy and fully cooked but still creamy.
  5. Generously fill each croissant half with the scrambled eggs and add slices of cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Place the filled croissants in your preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  7. Once out of the oven, decorate your Monster Croissants with edible candy eyes and serve alongside ketchup or hot sauce.
