The Best Breakfast Croissant Recipes

Wondering what to eat with a croissant for breakfast? In France, croissants are often eaten on their own – with just a coffee or a chocolat chaud for dipping.

That’s why we carefully crafted our viennoiserie to make our All-Butter Croissants a wonderful treat all on their own.

However, if you’re partial to a bit of extra butter, jam, or even a filling or topping, read on for some excellent breakfast croissant recipes…

Croissants make the best breakfast food because they’re so versatile. A great base for sweet and savoury dishes, they go with everything from eggs and bacon to peanut butter and jam – packed with a filling or spread with a tasty topping. Or if you’re in the mood for something simple, they’re just as good served warm with a hot cup of coffee.

There are so many ways to serve breakfast croissants, but if you need a bit of inspiration, here’s a few of our favourite recipes. Whether you make them with a classic croissant or the bigger, butterier All-Butter Croissant, they’re definitely worth getting out of bed for.

Bloody Mary Scrambled Eggs

It’s the ultimate brunch drink – so we’ve taken all the classic flavours of a Bloody Mary and put them in this breakfast croissant recipes post.

Fill our brand-new All-Butter Croissants with creamy scrambled eggs and top it all off with a sweet-and-spicy Bloody Mary Ketchup.

This tasty tomato sauce is given a kick with Worcestershire sauce, horseradish and a teaspoon of Tabasco – there’s even a couple of tablespoons of vodka in the mix for that authentic Bloody Mary flavour. Give it a try for Christmas, Birthdays or any special occasion breakfast.

Scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon

You can’t beat the classic breakfast croissant recipes – but you can make them even better with an All-Butter Croissant.

While your croissants warm in the oven, make your scrambled eggs with plenty of butter and some chopped fresh chives. Then, slice the warm croissant in half and pile everything inside. Our 2-pack All-Butter croissants are the biggest in the range, so you can fit in even more eggs and an extra slice of smoked salmon.

Tomato Avocado Breakfast

Avocados are a real breakfast staple, but instead of another slice of avo toast, why not try an avo croissant?

This all-butter breakfast croissant is filled with lots of fresh and tasty ingredients to start your day right. The sliced avocado is topped with a ripe vine tomato, a spoonful of flavour-packed pesto, some fragrant fresh basil and a squeeze of zingy lemon juice. It’s the perfect balance to that rich croissant. And for the pièce de résistance, you can even add an extra sprinkling of toasted pine nuts.

Ham and Cheese Croissant Sandwich

Want to know how to make a croissant breakfast sandwich? Allons-y:

First, slice your St Pierre All Butter Croissant in half. Bigger than your average croissant and full of fluffy, airy layers of all-butter pastry, it’s a truly mouthwatering alternative to bread or toast. Then simply add all your favourite classic sandwich fillings: tasty ham, sweet tomato, crunchy cucumber, lightly spread mayonnaise and fresh green lettuce.

The pièce de résistance?

The cheese. We recommend a slightly sweet continental Emmental – or if you’re feeling really indulgent, a creamy French brie sets the whole thing off beautifully.

Tomato, Pesto & Mozzarella All Butter Croissants With Sesame Seeds

Take your taste buds on a Mediterranean journey with this delightful breakfast croissant. Start by warming up our All-Butter Croissants, then layer them with slices of creamy mozzarella, a generous spread of vibrant basil pesto, and juicy sun-ripened tomatoes on the top of few rocket salad leaves for bitterness.

For a touch of nuttiness, sprinkle with black sesame seeds and lightly toast. It’s a simple yet elegant way to enjoy a wholesome, flavour-packed breakfast that’s as chic as it is satisfying.

Ham & Cheese Croissants with Béchamel Sauce

Elevate your classic ham and cheese croissant by adding a rich béchamel sauce. Warm our All-Butter Croissants and layer them with thinly sliced ham and a melt-in-your-mouth cheese like Gruyère. This is the closest you can get to a croque-monsieur but with a croissant twist.

Top it all off with a spoonful of silky béchamel sauce, then sprinkle with fresh chives for a delicate oniony kick. It’s indulgent, comforting, and perfect for those mornings when you want to treat yourself to something special.

Scrambled Egg and Avocado All Butter Croissants

Looking for a nutritious and satisfying start to your day? This recipe combines creamy scrambled eggs with silky slices of ripe avocado and cherry tomatoes, all nestled within the buttery layers of our All-Butter Croissants.

For added depth, sprinkle with a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of smoked paprika. It’s the ultimate breakfast croissant for those who love a modern twist on morning comfort food.

Raspberry and Cream All Butter Croissants With Almonds

For a sweet start to your day, try this indulgent combination. Our All-Butter Croissants are filled with a luscious whipped cream and sweet, tangy raspberries.

To add a touch of sophistication, sprinkle with lightly toasted flaked almonds for a satisfying crunch. It’s a breakfast fit for special occasions or when you simply want to turn an ordinary morning into something magnifique.

And finally… Pistachio Cream and Raspberry

Soft flakes of croissant, crunchy chopped pistachios, rich pistachio cream set off by sharp freeze-dried raspberries…

If you’re looking for a sweet croissant recipe, this St Pierre Pistachio All Butter Croissant confection is your perfect match. Ideal for a special petit dejeuner on a birthday or Valentine’s day, it’s so easy to do, and tastes truly incroyable.
