Step 1
Slice each croissant in half horizontally and toast lightly until golden, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add the 1 tbsp white vinegar, and stir to create a whirlpool.
Step 3
Crack each egg into a small bowl, then slide into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are runny.
Step 4
Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Layer the 4 lettuce leaves, 0.5 cup cucumber slices, and 4 oz smoked salmon on the bottom halves of the croissants.
Step 6
Top each with a poached egg, sprinkle with 1 tsp black sesame seeds and 0.25 cup microgreens, then close with the top halves.
Step 7
Serve immediately while the croissants are crisp and the eggs are warm.
