How to Make Maple-Dijon Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
These Maple-Dijon Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches are a delightful treat, combining savory and sweet flavors into a delicious breakfast. Perfect for a weekend brunch or a special weekday treat!
What You’ll Need:
- Croissants – 4 large croissants, halved. I recommend picking up some fresh, flaky croissants from your local bakery for the best results.
- Breakfast sausage links – 4 links. Choose your favorite kind; I often go for organic sausage for that great taste.
- Bacon – 4 slices. I love using thick-cut bacon because it really adds that crispy, smoky flavor!
- Eggs – 4 large eggs. Free-range eggs have a richer flavor, so I always try to grab those when I can.
- Cheddar cheese – 1/4 cup shredded. Sharp cheddar works wonders here; it adds a nice zing!
- Milk – 2 tbsp. I prefer whole milk for creaminess, but any milk will work.
- Dijon mustard – 2 tbsp. I enjoy using Maille Dijon for its robust flavor.
- Maple syrup – 2 tbsp. Use pure maple syrup if you can; it makes a huge difference in taste!
- Salt and pepper – to taste. A little sprinkle is all you need!
- Fresh chives – chopped, for garnish. They add a lovely color and flavor!
- Olive oil – for cooking. A drizzle of good-quality extra virgin olive oil is perfect.
The Directions:
- Start by preheating a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the breakfast sausage links according to the package instructions until they are nicely browned and fully cooked, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Next, in the same skillet, toss in the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, around 5-7 minutes. When they’re done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
- While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined. This will ensure your eggs are creamy and delicious!
- Once the bacon is done, reduce the heat to low and pour your egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir as they cook until just set, about 3-4 minutes. In the last minute, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and let it melt beautifully.
- In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and maple syrup to create your tasty spread. This is going to elevate your sandwich!
- Now, it’s assembly time! Spread that lovely maple-Dijon mixture on the bottom half of each croissant. Layer on the scrambled eggs, sausage links, and crispy bacon to your heart’s content.
- Finally, place the top half of the croissant over the fillings and garnish your delicious creation with some chopped chives.
- Serve these breakfast wonders warm, and enjoy every bite of your Maple-Dijon Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches!
These sandwiches are not just easy to make but fabulous to enjoy. Perfect for sharing with friends or a cozy breakfast just for you!
Can I Use Other Types of Bread Instead of Croissants?
Absolutely! You can substitute croissants with other types of bread like brioche, bagels, or even whole grain bread. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor will be different, so choose a bread that complements your taste!
Can I Make This Recipe With Egg Substitutes?
Yes, you can use egg substitutes like flaxseed meal (1 tbsp mixed with 2.5 tbsp water equals 1 egg) or commercial egg replacers. Just remember that cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on the mixture as it thickens!
How Do I Store Leftover Sandwiches?
Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, unwrap the sandwiches and pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the skillet for a crispy finish!
Can I Make These Sandwiches Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can prepare the components ahead! Cook the sausage and bacon, scramble the eggs, and mix the maple-Dijon spread, then store them separately in the fridge. Assemble the sandwiches just before serving for the freshest taste!
