60897.jpg
Prep: 10 min | Cook: 20 min | Total: 30 min | Yields: 6 sandwiches

  • •  1 pound ground maple breakfast sausage
  • •  2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • •  2 tablespoons yellow or Dijon mustard
  • •  2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • •  8 large eggs
  • •  ¼ cup milk
  • •  1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • •  Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • •  6 croissants, split horizontally
  • •  6 strips bacon, cooked
  • •  Minced chives, for garnish

Instructions

1. Form breakfast sausage into 6 rectangular patties to better fit onto the croissants. Cook sausage patties in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 7 to 8 minutes per side. When cooked through, remove from heat and cover with lid to keep warm until sandwiches are ready to assemble.

2. While sausage cooks, prepare sauce and mix together the ingredients for scrambled eggs. For sauce: whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, and maple syrup in a small bowl; set aside until ready to assemble sandwiches. For eggs: in a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper. Set aside in refrigerator while sausage finishes cooking.

3. Heat oven to broil. Place croissant halves, open sides up, on baking sheet and toast under broiler until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes; set aside until ready to assemble sandwiches.

4. Heat a small amount of butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. (Alternatively, use nonstick cooking spray.) When pan is hot, pour egg mixture into skillet, let mixture sit a minute or so, then use a rubber spatula to stir and fold until eggs are cooked and scrambled, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

5. Assemble sandwiches: Use 1 tablespoon sauce, a spoonful or 2 of the scrambled eggs, 1 sausage patty, 1 strip bacon, and a sprinkle of chopped chives for each sandwich.
