Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole grain croissants
- 4 pieces Lean turkey sausage patties
- 8 large Egg whites
- 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place the turkey sausage patties on a baking tray and bake them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked. Flip halfway through to cook evenly.
Step 3
While the sausage is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the baby spinach to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach and set aside.
Step 5
In the same pan, add the egg whites and scramble them gently, seasoning with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Once cooked, remove from the heat.
Step 6
Slice each whole grain croissant horizontally, and place them open-faced on a baking sheet.
Step 7
On each bottom half, layer 1 piece of turkey sausage, scrambled egg whites, a slice of cheese, some wilted spinach, and a slice of tomato.
Step 8
Place the croissants back in the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
Step 9
Remove from the oven, assemble the top half of the croissant, and serve warm.
