Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 large croissants
- 4 sausage patties
- 4 slices Colby Jack cheese
- 1 cup spinach
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Other
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Everything but the Bagel Seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and fully combined for flavorful scrambled eggs.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted and hot, add the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through but still moist.
- Prepare Croissants: Slice each croissant horizontally in half and arrange the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish to serve as the sandwich base.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Layer a handful of fresh spinach on each croissant bottom, spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the spinach, top each with a cooked sausage patty and a slice of Colby Jack cheese.
- Top Croissants: Place the top halves of the croissants over each assembled sandwich, creating a layered breakfast stack.
- Butter and Season: Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until melted, then brush it evenly over the tops of each croissant. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top if desired for extra flavor.
- Bake Sandwiches: Bake the assembled sandwiches in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese has melted perfectly.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapeños or hot sauce to the sandwich.
- You can substitute sausage patties with bacon or ham if preferred.
- Fresh spinach can be replaced with kale or arugula to alter the greens.
- To reheat leftovers, wrap sandwiches in foil and warm in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes.
- Use low-fat cheese or turkey sausage for a lighter version.
