Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup diced green chilies (canned or fresh)

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 large croissants (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Hot sauce, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Filling: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and you have a creamy, cheesy egg mixture.

    Cook the Egg Mixture: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy (about 5-6 minutes). Remove from heat.

      Prepare Croissants: While the eggs are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice each croissant in half lengthwise, creating a top and bottom.

        Assemble Croissants: Spoon the cheesy green chili egg mixture generously onto the bottom half of each croissant. Place the top half back on each croissant.

          Bake: Arrange the filled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the croissants are golden and heated through.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve warm, with a side of hot sauce if desired.
