YOUR TURN TO CREATE

For Sandwich
  • Set aside Boursin® on counter to bring to room temperature for easy spreading.
  • Slice and Toast cut side of Croissant.
  • Spread Boursin® onto each toasted side, Rougly 1 oz/side but personal preference is recommended
  • Slice tomato, and place 4 slices on bottom piece of Croissant, season with Maldon Sea Salt/Fleur de Sel and Freshly Ground Pepper.
  • Add Pickled Shallot, roughly 1 oz/sandwich, this is personal preference
  • Soft scramble eggs, 2 per sandwich. Heat 1 oz clarified butter, whole butter, or oil over medium heat and scramble until desired doneness. Season scrambled egg with salt and pepper as well.
  • Add egg to sandwich and serve with your choice of fries, potatoes, a side salad or fruit.
For Pickled Shallots
  • Thinly slice shallots
  • Bring the rest of ingredients up to boil to dissolve salt and sugar
