Ingredients
For the Maple-Dijon Sauce:
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
For the Sandwiches:
7 plain croissants
7 slices sharp cheddar cheese
1 9-ounce package breakfast chicken sausage links
7 large eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnishing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the breakfast chicken sausage links and cook for 3-4 minutes until warmed through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and cook the eggs, using a spatula to gently scramble them to your desired consistency.
- Make the Maple-Dijon Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey and Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the croissants in half and spread a generous amount of the maple-Dijon sauce on the bottom halves. Evenly distribute scrambled eggs among the croissants. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each sandwich and bake for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is mostly melted.
- Add Sausage: Layer the croissants with the cooked sausage links and fresh chives. Add the top halves of the croissants and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the croissants are golden and crisp.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm
Notes
Add Vegetables: Sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or avocado would make great additions to these sandwiches for extra flavor and nutrition.
Different Cheese: Swap sharp cheddar for Swiss, mozzarella, or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
For Best Results: Reheat leftovers in the oven to keep the croissants crispy.
