Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan140°C/gas 3. Place the croissants on a baking tray and warm for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat half the butter in a frying pan, add the sugar and place over a medium heat. Shake the pan, but don’t stir, until melted. Add the bacon or ham, sprinkle with the cayenne pepper and fry for 5 minutes until lightly golden all over, turning once.
- Heat the remaining butter in a non-stick saucepan over a medium heat. Add the eggs and season generously with sea salt, black pepper and nutmeg. Add the double cream and the snipped chives, then stir gently until just set.
- Split the croissants in half, then put a slice of bacon and some scrambled egg on the bottom halves. Replace the tops and serve immediately.
