Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2-4 pieces Croissants Freshly baked or store-bought, flaky and buttery.
- 2 pieces Eggs Can substitute with egg substitute for a vegan option.
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup Using pure maple syrup elevates the flavor.
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Can swap with whole grain mustard for more texture.
- 1 slice Cheese (optional) Try cheddar or Swiss, or leave it out for a dairy-free option.
- 2 slices/patties Cooked bacon or sausage (optional) For a healthier option, use turkey or vegetarian sausage.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil for added flavor.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour in the eggs. Scramble gently until cooked through but still soft (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and Dijon mustard to create your dressing.
- Slice each croissant in half and lay them on a plate, ready for assembly.
Assembly
- On the bottom half of each croissant, add a layer of the scrambled eggs.
- If using, place a slice of cheese followed by your bacon or sausage.
- Drizzle the maple mustard mixture generously over the top and then add the croissant top to finish.
- Optionally, place the assembled sandwiches back in the skillet for a minute on each side to crisp up the edges, enhancing the flavor.
Serving
- Serve warm, and watch as everyone dives in with smiles.
Notes
Make it veggie by swapping in sautéed spinach, avocado, or roasted peppers for a nutritious twist. You can also add a sprinkle of herbs or sliced fruits for extra flavor.
