Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Divide the sausage meat into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
  2. 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.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  4. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set and fluffy. Remove from heat.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
  7. Slice each croissant in half horizontally.
  8. On the bottom half of each croissant, place a sausage patty, a portion of scrambled eggs, and a slice of cheddar cheese.
  9. Place the top half of the croissant over the fillings.
  10. 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.
  11.  Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  12. 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 jack, Swiss, or provolone instead of the standard cheddar for a unique twist.
  3. Veggie-Loaded Croissant:
    • Incorporate sautéed vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms into the filling for added nutrition and flavor.
  4. Herbed Croissant:
    • Mix fresh herbs like chives, parsley, 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.
