Steps to Make It

1. Prepare the Bacon

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

2. Toast the Croissants (Optional)

Slice the croissants in half lengthwise. If desired, toast them lightly on a skillet or in the oven for 2-3 minutes to warm and crisp.

3. Spread the Condiments

Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard (if using). Spread evenly on the inside of each croissant half.

4. Layer the Ingredients

Start with a leaf of lettuce on the bottom half of each croissant. Then add turkey, ham, cheese slices, tomato, bacon, and another lettuce leaf.

5. Top and Press

Place the croissant top gently on the layered ingredients. Press lightly to secure.

6. Slice and Serve

Use a serrated knife to slice the sandwich in half, securing each half with a sandwich pick if needed.

Make It Perfect

• Use high-quality croissants—preferably from a bakery.
• Choose thick-cut bacon for that extra crunch.
• Fresh lettuce and ripe tomatoes make all the difference.
• Let the croissant come to room temp before slicing to avoid crumbling.

Mix It Up

• Swap in roast beef or grilled chicken for a different protein profile.
• Use avocado slices or a fried egg for a brunch spin.
• Try flavored mayo like chipotle or garlic aioli for a punch of flavor.

Perfect Partners

• A side of kettle chips or sweet potato fries.
• Fresh fruit salad or a light green salad with vinaigrette.
• Sparkling lemonade, iced tea, or a glass of chilled white wine.

Busy Day Hero

With minimal prep and no fancy tools, this sandwich is perfect when time’s tight. Make it in the morning, wrap it well, and enjoy a hearty lunch on the go.

Work Ahead

Cook the bacon in advance and store it in the fridge. You can also pre-slice the croissants and tomatoes. Assemble right before serving for freshness.

Save Some For Later

Wrap any leftover sandwiches tightly in foil or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Best enjoyed within 24 hours for texture and flavor.

Everyone’s Happy

This sandwich is universally appealing—kids love it, adults crave it, and it works great for gatherings. Make mini versions for a party tray!

Good For You Too

Swap regular bacon for turkey bacon and use light mayo for a healthier version. Whole grain croissants can add more fiber while still tasting great.

Easy Clean Up

Just one pan for the bacon and minimal mess to wipe up after assembly. No need for extra dishes or long cleanup.

Switch It Up

Try different cheeses like provolone, mozzarella, or pepper jack. Or go international with pesto instead of mayo and add sun-dried tomatoes.

Simply Perfect

Classic, easy, and incredibly flavorful—this sandwich is everything you want in a bite. Croissant + club = pure sandwich bliss.
