Tips
Keep the heat low when scrambling eggs for the creamiest, most tender texture - patience is key for perfect eggs.
Prepare all sandwich components before cooking eggs so you can assemble immediately while eggs are still warm.
Toast croissants just until warmed through to maintain their buttery, flaky texture without making them too crispy.
Good to Know
Assembled sandwiches best served immediately. Fruit salad keeps covered in refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Fruit salad can be made 1 day ahead. Prep vegetables and set up mise en place the night before for quicker assembly.
Serve immediately while eggs are warm and croissants are toasted. Bellinis are best served chilled.
Common Mistakes
Don't cook eggs over high heat to avoid tough, rubbery texture

FAQ
Can I make this without alcohol?
Yes, substitute sparkling apple cider or sparkling grape juice for the prosecco. The raspberry puree works beautifully with non-alcoholic options too.
What if I don't have croissants?
English muffins, brioche, or even good quality bagels work well. Toast them lightly and they'll still create a delicious breakfast sandwich.
How long will the fruit salad keep?
The fruit salad stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days when stored covered. The lemon juice helps prevent browning.
