  • 4 count large eggs
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
  • 2 count all-butter croissants
  • 1.5 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 tbsp whole dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or chives, finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook sausage patties in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.

    Transfer sausage to a plate, then reduce heat to medium and add 0.5 tbsp butter to the same skillet.

  3. 3

    Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk with salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet and stir gently until curds form, about 4 minutes.

    While eggs cook, slice croissants in half horizontally and spread cut sides with dijon mustard.

  5. 5

    Toast croissant halves cut-side down in the same skillet over medium heat, 2 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
