Notes
- Croissants taste best when fresh. Try to use buttery, flaky croissants for the best flavor and texture.
- To prevent sogginess, place a lettuce leaf between the croissant and egg salad.
- Chill the egg salad for 10 minutes before assembling for a richer taste.
- Customize your sandwich with crispy bacon, shredded cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
