Ingredients
Scale
Meats:
- 8 slices bacon (or breakfast sausage)
Eggs and Dairy:
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Bread and Condiments:
- 4 croissants, sliced in half
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce (optional, for a kick)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Craft a zesty maple mustard blend by whisking maple syrup, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl until the mixture transforms into a silky, unified sauce.
- Render bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat, cooking until they achieve a perfect crisp texture. Transfer the strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Prepare scrambled eggs by combining eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gently whisk the ingredients until thoroughly integrated.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, then pour the egg mixture into the pan. Softly fold and stir the eggs, creating pillowy, tender curds that are just set but not overcooked.
- Slice croissants horizontally and generously spread the maple mustard sauce on both interior surfaces, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer sharp cheese slices onto the bottom half of each croissant, followed by a generous portion of fluffy scrambled eggs and crispy bacon strips.
- Carefully close the croissants and briefly toast them in a pan or air fryer at 350F (175C) for 3-5 minutes, allowing the exterior to become golden and crisp while warming the interior.
- Plate the sandwiches immediately, accompanied by a small ramekin of extra maple mustard sauce for additional dipping pleasure.
Notes
- Customize the maple mustard sauce by adjusting hot sauce levels for personal heat preference, creating a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
- Swap traditional bacon with turkey bacon or plant-based bacon alternatives for lighter, dietary-specific versions of this indulgent breakfast sandwich.
- Prepare maple mustard sauce ahead of time and store in refrigerator for up to 5 days, allowing quick morning assembly and saving precious meal prep time.
- Choose high-quality croissants from local bakeries for enhanced texture and richer buttery taste that elevates the entire sandwich experience.
