Ingredients
  • 3 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely diced sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 cup roughly chopped fresh baby spinach
  • 3 large, sturdy croissants day-old croissants work well
  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced chiffonade for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon, onion and red bell pepper and sauté until vegetables soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add spinach; stir until completely wilted and bright green, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from the heat; set aside.
  2. Cut a trench or a V-shape into the top of each croissant with a serrated knife, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. Gently hollow out the inside, removing some of the soft bread to create a "boat" shape with a cavity for the filling.
  3. Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth and uniform in color. Add bacon and vegetable mixture to the eggs; season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  4. Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line air fryer basket with aluminum foil
  5. Set hollowed-out croissants into the basket. Carefully spoon or pour egg mixture into each croissant boat, filling them to the top.
  6. Place the basket into the air fryer and cook until eggs are set and puffed up, about 20 minutes.
  7. Remove boats from the air fryer. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese while still hot and garnish with basil. Serve immediately.
