These are the ultimate breakfast croissants! With buttery shiitake mushrooms and goat cheese wrapped in fluffy eggs, you really can’t go wrong.

The Deets
One of my favorite combos is goat cheese and mushrooms. This breakfast croissant takes that classic duo to a whole new level, incorporating shiitake mushrooms for extra depth of flavor and a beautifully layered experience. The mushrooms are sautéed to perfection in butter and fresh thyme, which brings out their rich, umami essence while adding an aromatic, herbal note that makes each bite truly unforgettable. Once the mushrooms are perfectly golden, they’re gently folded into soft, creamy scrambled eggs, creating a silky texture that balances the tangy, creamy goat cheese.
All of this deliciousness is nestled into a toasted, flaky, buttery croissant, which adds the perfect balance of crispness and richness. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, the entire sandwich is drizzled with a balsamic glaze that adds a hint of sweetness and acidity, cutting through the richness of the eggs, cheese, and croissant and tying all the flavors together in a way that’s just magical. Whether you’re looking to elevate your weekend brunch or treat yourself to a decadent weekday breakfast, this croissant sandwich is guaranteed to satisfy and make your morning feel a little more special.
