Ingredients
Scale
- 4 croissants (sliced in half)
- 8 slices bacon (or breakfast sausage)
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack)
- ¼ cup (60 mL) milk
- 2 tbsps (30 mL) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
- ½ tsp hot sauce (optional, for a kick)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Sauce Creation: Whisk maple syrup, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and hot sauce in a small bowl until the mixture becomes a smooth, cohesive blend.
- Bacon Preparation: Cook bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden, then drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Egg Preparation: Combine eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl, whisking until fully incorporated. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, then pour the egg mixture, gently folding to create soft, pillowy curds.
- Croissant Assembly: Slice croissants horizontally and spread maple mustard sauce on both interior surfaces. Layer sharp cheese, scrambled eggs, and crispy bacon strips on the bottom half of each croissant.
- Final Toasting: Close the croissants and toast in a pan or air fryer at 350F (175C) for 3-5 minutes, achieving a golden, crisp exterior and heated interior.
- Serving: Plate the sandwiches immediately, providing a small ramekin of extra maple mustard sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Customize Maple Mustard: Adjust hot sauce quantity to match your spice preference, creating a personalized flavor profile that suits your taste buds.
- Perfect Egg Technique: Cook eggs on low-medium heat, continuously folding gently to prevent overcooking and maintain a creamy, soft scrambled texture.
- Bacon Crispness Control: Pat bacon dry before cooking and drain thoroughly on paper towels to achieve maximum crunchiness without excess grease.
- Toasting Precision: Watch croissants closely during final toasting to prevent burning, aiming for a golden-brown exterior that enhances sandwich crispiness and temperature.
