Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large croissants
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked turkey sausage patties (or plant-based sausage)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Liquid and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil for dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Craft the zesty maple mustard drizzle by whisking maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a small mixing bowl until smooth and well-integrated.
- Crack eggs into a separate bowl, incorporating milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat at 325°F, gently folding eggs to create soft, billowy scrambled eggs with a creamy texture.
- Warm the turkey or plant-based sausage in a skillet for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it’s heated thoroughly and develops a light golden exterior.
- Slice croissants horizontally, then lightly toast until edges turn golden and crisp, creating a delicate crunch.
- Layer the bottom croissant half with fluffy scrambled eggs, position the heated sausage on top, generously drizzle with the prepared maple mustard sauce, and optionally add a slice of cheese for extra richness.
- Complete the sandwich by placing the top croissant half, pressing gently to marry the flavors and create a compact, indulgent breakfast treat.
Notes
- Swap sausage for crispy bacon or smoked salmon to add variety and different flavor profiles to the breakfast sandwich.
- Use gluten-free croissants or dairy-free cheese alternatives to make this recipe suitable for people with dietary restrictions.
- Prepare maple mustard sauce ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing flavors to meld and intensify.
- Control egg texture by cooking on low heat and stirring gently, ensuring soft and creamy scrambled eggs without becoming dry or rubbery.
