Croissant Egg Boats : Easy Morning Meal
We were craving something warm and savory for breakfast and had some leftover croissants from Costco. This is always a good thing. Having leftover croissants, eggs, some cheese and a little ham. Croissant egg boats are born within a few minutes and they are so good! We made them again for a breakfast photoshoot and everyone devoured them in minutes.

Breakfast Croissant Egg Boats Toppings
Now these stuffed savory croissant stuffed eggs are so easy, there’s really not much you can do to screw it up. Even if something went wrong, like adding too much cheese or filling these croissants still come out of the oven delicious. Costco croissants are great for these. They might not be pretty, but they’re delicious. Here’s some topping ideas beyond the egg:
- Flavorful cheeses like smoked gouda, swiss, emmental or havarti.
- Cooked diced ham, bacon bits or cooked sausage crumbles.
- Add some vegetables like pre-sauteed kale, onions or spinach. But make sure the vegetables are pre-cooked first.
- Hot sauces. Don’t forget to have this as an option! We homemade chili crisp, sriracha from scratch recipe or an easy homemade chili garlic hot sauce.

Nutrition Information per Serving
Can you freeze leftover croissant egg boats
We tested these frozen, then thawed. The results were still great! If you have a few leftover and need a quick breakfast, then sure freezing them is ok. But we recommend taking them out to thaw first in the fridge. That way when you’re ready to eat the next day, pop them in the air fryer or oven at 350F for about 10 minutes.
Different Croissant Shapes
We tested these on the Costco straight shaped croissants and they’re perfect for stuffing. The popular crescent shaped croissants are great too. We suggest using the larger croissants so there’s more room to hold the eggs. Then you can cut them in half for serving if anyone wants a smaller portion. Small tiny bite sized croissants aren’t thick enough for holding eggs. Hope you enjoy these croissant stuffed eggs!
