These Breakfast Croissant Boats are filled with fluffy eggs, crispy bacon and cheese before being baked to perfection in the oven. This easy breakfast or brunch is ready in 30 minutes!
If you love croissant breakfast sandwiches but want to switch things up, then give these croissant boats a try! Everyone loves how they’re flakey on the outside, but light and fluffy inside!
This is possibly my favorite croissant breakfast recipe because it’s fun and easy to prepare. They go over so well for breakfast and brunches on weekends and holidays. Serve them with some fresh fruits and granola to make a complete meal!

How to Make Breakfast Croissant Boats
Making them only takes a few minutes. You’ll need some large croissants, eggs, cooked bacon, shredded cheese, green onions and milk. Start by cutting the tops of the croissants using a paring knife:
You can reserve the tops to bake alongside the boats. They make fun lids you can put on top, or you can simply eat them separately.
Next, beat the eggs and milk together in a mixing bowl with a fork. Then add the shredded cheese, cooked bacon, and green onion:
Spoon the egg mixture into the prepared croissant boats. The mixture may soak slightly into the croissants, and that’s ok.
Place the filled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat in case there are any drips.
Bake them at 375°F until golden brown and the egg mixture has set, about for 20-25 minutes. Voila – breakfast is served!

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.

How long can these sit out unrefrigerated? Can they be served room temp?
TipBuzz —October 18, 2023 @ 2:45 pm Reply
Hi Dorothy, Thanks for your question. They can sit out for 2-3 hours. Best served warm but room temp is fine too. Hope that helps!

I made these for a church breakfast and they were a big hit. A definite keeper recipe.

Hi Carol, Great to hear and thanks so much for your comment!

These are so tasty and easy! I made them as instructed the first time, but found I was scooping out the chunks to make sure that each croissant had its fair share. The second time I mixed up the eggs separate and chopped up the add-ins. I sprinkled the add-ins in each croissant first, then poured the egg mixture evenly in each one before baking. For me, it made it a little easier to control the outcome and it went a little faster than the first time through. I used sautéed mushrooms with thyme, ham chunks and caramelized onions with cheddar in the last batch… absolutely delicious! My family loves them and I think they’re going to be a hit warmed up in the toaster oven.

Hi Stephanie, So happy to hear you enjoyed them and thanks for your detailed feedback!

Delicious! I used ham instead of bacon (because I didn’t have any). These were a hit with my husband and son and they use up some of my fresh eggs my hens are churning out. I plan to make a batch, wrap and keep in the fridge for a quick breakfast during the week. Should be easy to crisp/reheat in the Brava oven.

Just made these and they were good. Had to look at the picture to see if the bacon should be cooked first as it didn’t state that. I think the next time I will grate some parmesan cheese into the croissant, add the bacon mixture next and pour the egg mixture over everything last. I also added a dash or two of garlic powder. This was tasty and I will definitely make it again. Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Linda, Thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoyed!

I used Telera rolls instead of croissants and it turned out great. I also added chopped jalapeño and fresh dill. Great recipe for portable breakfasts..
Michelle B —March 21, 2021 @ 10:09 am Reply
I used smaller croissants and that 375 was too hot as the outside got too brown and the inside was not cooked all the way through. Next time I will cook at 350. Serve with fruit, very tasty.

Hi Michelle, That’s great to hear and thanks for your feedback. So glad you liked it!

Lol. I tried making these. When I cut the tips of the cuisants, there was no hollow area. I pushed down the middle. Didn’t stay down. I added my egg mixture and it flowed off the croissant and into the cookie sheet. Lol. Their baking now. To be continued.
TipBuzz —September 29, 2020 @ 6:42 pm Reply
Hi Jacqueline, Did you say cut the “tips”? Should be the tops only! If not hollow inside then simply carve out the inside as needed to accommodate the filling. Hope you’ll try it again now that you’re an experienced croissant boats preparer! Thanks for your comment.

Snow peas. I’m making it for dinner.

Is the bacon precooked prior to going into the egg mixture?
TipBuzz —June 13, 2019 @ 12:12 am Reply
Hi Robin, Thanks for your review, and yes the bacon should be fully cooked before going in (like with an omelet). Will add a note to clarify.
Barbie —December 28, 2018 @ 1:02 pm Reply
In the oven baking. I basted the croissants with butter and did a quick toast before filling. Put the hollowed out bread in egg mixture. Baked with tops on. Brushed butter on tops also. So pretty and yummy. Will make for guests for sure. 😉😉😉 5 Stars
TipBuzz —January 10, 2019 @ 2:02 am Reply
Hi Barbie, That’s awesome, sounds delicious. So glad to hear the baking with the tops on too 🙂

What do you do with the tops of the croissants?
TipBuzz —March 15, 2018 @ 3:29 pm Reply
Hi Roxie, Thanks for asking. They’re delicious eaten separately or can be baked alongside and used as a lid for decoration 🙂

I put the tops in the bottom of a small oven save bowl and top with extra egg mixture and bake with the boats.
