Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 breakfast sausage patties
- 4 croissants
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to warm the croissants.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk together with milk, salt, and pepper until blended.
Step 3
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Step 4
Cook the eggs, gently stirring with a spatula, until they are just set and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Step 5
In another skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are fully browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Step 6
Cut each croissant in half horizontally and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each half.
Step 7
Place the croissant halves on a baking sheet and warm in the oven for 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Step 8
Once the croissants are warm, layer evenly with a slice of cheddar, a sausage patty, a portion of scrambled eggs, and sprinkle with fresh chives, if using.
Step 9
Close the croissants with the top half and serve immediately while the ingredients are warm and the cheese is melty.
