Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients 4 croissants (about 240 grams total)
  • 200 grams breakfast sausage meat
  • 4 large eggs
  • 100 grams cheddar cheese, sliced
  • 30 ml milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Sausage: Divide the sausage meat into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
  • Cook the sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  • Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set and fluffy. Remove from heat.
  • Assemble the Sandwiches: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
  • Slice each croissant in half horizontally.
  • On the bottom half of each croissant, place a sausage patty, a portion of scrambled eggs, and a slice of cheddar cheese.
  • Place the top half of the croissant over the fillings.
  • Bake the Sandwiches: Place the assembled croissants on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese is melted and the croissants are warmed through.
  •  Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  • Enjoy your homemade sausage, egg, and cheese croissants warm.

Notes

Variations

  1. Spicy Sausage Croissant:
    • Add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the sausage before cooking for an extra kick of flavor.
  2. Cheese Variety:
    • Experiment with different types of cheese such as pepper jackSwiss, or provolone instead of the standard cheddar for a unique twist.
  3. Veggie-Loaded Croissant:
    • Incorporate sautéed vegetables such as spinachbell peppers, or mushrooms into the filling for added nutrition and flavor.
  4. Herbed Croissant:
    • Mix fresh herbs like chivesparsley, or basil into the egg mixture before cooking for a fresh, aromatic flavor.
  5. Avocado and Tomato:
    • Add slices of avocado and tomato to the sandwich for a creamy texture and refreshing taste.
  6. Smoked Salmon Version:
    • Replace the sausage with smoked salmon for a luxurious twist. Pair it with cream cheese and capers for a brunch-worthy option.
  7. Turkey Sausage Alternative:
    • Use turkey sausage instead of pork sausage for a leaner version that still packs a punch of flavor.
  8. Sweet Potato Croissant:
    • Add roasted sweet potato slices to the filling for a sweet and savory combination that complements the sausage.
  9. Breakfast Burrito Style:
    • Wrap the sausage, egg, and cheese mixture in a tortilla instead of a croissant for a breakfast burrito option.
  10. Croissant Bake:
    • Instead of individual sandwiches, layer croissant pieces in a baking dish with the sausage, egg, and cheese mixture, then bake for a breakfast casserole.
