Introduction

Baked Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches are a delicious way to start your day with a warm, cheesy, and savory treat. Combining fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage, spinach, and gooey cheese all inside buttery croissants, this recipe is perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast or brunch.

The image shows four breakfast sandwiches on a black tray, each made with a golden toasted sesame croissant cut in half. The bottom layer of each sandwich has green spinach leaves topped with fluffy yellow scrambled eggs. Above the eggs is a round, browned sausage patty, and a slice of melted, light orange cheese covers the sausage. The top croissant half with sesame seeds finishes the sandwich. The tray is set on a white marbled surface with an orange cloth in the background and a white mug partly visible. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 large croissants
4 sausage patties
4 slices Colby Jack cheese
6 large eggs
1 tbsp Everything but the Bagel Seasoning (optional)
1 cup spinach
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Step 2: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is hot, add the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully scrambled and cooked through.
Step 4: Slice the croissants in half and arrange the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Layer a handful of spinach on each croissant bottom, then spoon on the scrambled eggs. Top each with a slice of sausage and a slice of Colby Jack cheese.
Step 6: Place the top halves of the croissants over the assembled layers.
Step 7: Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until melted. Brush the melted butter over the top of each croissant, then sprinkle with Everything but the Bagel Seasoning, if using.
Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tips & Variations

Substitute spinach with kale or arugula for a different green flavor and texture.
Use your favorite cheese like cheddar or Swiss instead of Colby Jack for a new taste.
For a vegetarian version, replace sausage patties with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage.
To add extra flavor, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or mayonnaise on the croissant halves before assembling.

Storage

Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F for 10 minutes or until warmed through to keep the croissant crisp. Avoid microwaving to maintain texture, but you can cover loosely with a paper towel if microwaving is necessary.

How to Serve

Three croissant sandwiches are arranged on a black serving board over a white marbled surface. Each croissant is golden brown with a flaky texture and topped with sesame seeds. The sandwiches have three visible layers: a bottom layer of fresh green spinach leaves, a middle layer of scrambled yellow eggs with a soft, fluffy texture, and a top layer of melted cheese mixed with small pieces of sausage or chicken. The filling is slightly spilling out from the sides, showing layers clearly. Around the board, a few loose spinach leaves and scattered sesame seeds add detail, with a white salt shaker and an orange cloth napkin placed nearby. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these sandwiches ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sandwiches the night before and refrigerate them. Bake right before serving for the freshest taste.

Can I freeze the baked croissant breakfast sandwiches?

While you can freeze the assembled sandwiches before baking, the croissants may lose some flakiness after thawing. It’s best to wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat by baking until warmed through.
