Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 large croissants
  • 4 pieces cooked breakfast sausage
  • 4 slices Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Other

  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and fully set but still moist.
  4. Assemble Croissants: Slice the croissants in half horizontally and place the bottom halves evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Layer Ingredients: On each croissant bottom, layer fresh spinach, scrambled eggs, a cooked sausage patty, and a slice of Colby Jack cheese. Top each with the other croissant halves.
  6. Butter and Season: Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave and brush it evenly over the tops of the croissants. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning on top for extra flavor.
  7. Bake Sandwiches: Bake the assembled sandwiches in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is melted completely.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the sandwiches warm for a delicious breakfast treat.

Notes

  • You can swap out breakfast sausage for bacon or ham if preferred.
  • Feel free to use other types of cheese such as cheddar or Swiss for a different flavor profile.
  • To make ahead, assemble the sandwiches but bake just before serving.
  • Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and reheated in a toaster oven for a quick breakfast.
