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, divided
- 1 tbsp Everything but the Bagel Seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking during baking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted and hot, pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally to scramble, until the eggs are fully cooked and set. Remove from heat.
- Assemble Croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally and place the bottom halves evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer Fillings: On each croissant bottom, layer a handful of fresh spinach, then spoon the scrambled eggs on top. Place one sausage patty and a slice of Colby Jack cheese over the eggs.
- Top Croissants: Cover each assembled sandwich with the top halves of the croissants, pressing gently to secure the layers.
- Butter and Season Tops: Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave. Brush this melted butter over the tops of each croissant, then sprinkle with Everything but the Bagel Seasoning for extra flavor and texture.
- Bake Sandwiches: Bake the croissant sandwiches in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the croissants turn golden brown and the cheese inside has melted beautifully.
Notes
- You can substitute croissants with English muffins or brioche buns if preferred.
- For a vegetarian version, replace sausage patties with plant-based sausage or omit them entirely.
- Everything but the Bagel Seasoning is optional but adds a delicious savory crunch.
- Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated, then reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Adding fresh tomatoes or avocado slices can add a fresh twist to the sandwich.
