Ingredients
- 4 pieces Low-fat chicken or turkey sausage patties
- 1 tablespoon Low-fat butter or cooking spray
- 8 large whites Egg whites
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Whole wheat croissants
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a non-stick skillet, cook the low-fat chicken or turkey sausage patties over medium heat until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the low-fat butter or cooking spray. Reduce the heat to low.
Step 4
Add the egg whites to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Stir occasionally, cooking until the egg whites are fully set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Step 5
Split the whole wheat croissants in half and place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Layer each croissant bottom with one sausage patty, a portion of the scrambled egg whites, and 1/4 cup of reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Step 7
Place the croissant tops over the filled bottoms and press gently.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the croissants are warmed through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven, serve immediately, and enjoy your low-fat sausage, egg, and cheese croissants warm!
