This Croissant Sandwich is a bold, satisfying take on a breakfast classic, showcasing the playful, stack-driven approach found in Stacked by Owen Han. Part of our We Cook Books series, it turns simple ingredients into a morning bite that’s indulgent, bright, and cleverly composed.
Here, buttery toasted croissants pair with soft, creamy scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, and just-melted Cheddar. But the standout is the homemade tomato jam: cherry tomatoes simmered with brown sugar, lime juice, shallot, garlic, and a whisper of cumin until thick, glossy, and bursting with sweet-tangy depth. It’s the element that ties everything together, cutting through richness and adding a vibrant pop to every bite.
Comforting yet energizing, this sandwich captures the spirit of layered cooking, approachable, full-flavored, and endlessly satisfying.
