Ingredients
- 4 large croissants
- 4 vegetarian sausage patties
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the croissants in half horizontally, and place them on a baking sheet, cut sides up.
Step 2
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the vegetarian sausage patties according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set them aside on a plate.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
In the same skillet used for the sausages, add butter and melt over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Step 5
Stir the eggs gently with a spatula, bringing the edges toward the center as they set. Cook until the eggs are scrambled to your desired level of doneness, then remove from heat.
Step 6
Arrange a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each croissant. Then place a sausage patty on top of the cheese.
Step 7
Spoon a portion of scrambled eggs over each patty, followed by a small handful of fresh spinach.
Step 8
Top with the other half of the croissant, and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Step 9
Bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the croissants are slightly crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute before serving.
