Step 3: Layer the bottom half of each croissant with lettuce or arugula, followed by sliced avocado and crispy bacon.
Step 4: Place the cooked eggs on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5: If desired, drizzle with hot sauce or spread a bit of aioli on the top half of the croissant.
Step 6: Close the sandwich and serve warm.
