Effortless Maple Mustard Croissant (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For Sandwich Assembly

01 - 4 big croissants, stale or freshly baked
02 - 1 cup of cooked sausage patties (try plant-based if you prefer)
03 - 1 tablespoon of butter or swap with olive oil for no dairy
04 - 1/2 cup of your favorite milk (regular, almond, oat, etc.)
05 - 4 large eggs
06 - Salt and pepper, just enough to season
07 - 1 cup shredded cheddar (totally optional or go dairy-free)

→ To Make the Sweet Sauce

08 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
11 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
12 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
13 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, mustard, garlic powder, vinegar, pepper, and salt until it’s smooth and ready to go. Once done, just set it aside to use later.
02 - Break the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, and throw in a bit of salt and pepper. Whisk like crazy to combine. Heat a skillet over medium and melt the butter, then pour in the eggs. Stir gently with a spatula, folding now and then. Stop cooking when they’re soft but still slightly shiny—about 3-4 minutes.
03 - While working on the eggs, follow the package directions to heat your sausage patties. Want a little more flavor? Toss them into a skillet for a quick sear until they’re golden and crispy around the edges.
04 - Slice the croissants in half and pop them either in a toaster, a broiler, or onto a griddle. Get the cut side just barely crispy but keep that inner flaky softness intact.
05 - Start building by spreading out the toasted croissant bottoms. Place a big pile of eggs on each, followed by warmed sausage patties. Drizzle on the sauce, and if you’re using cheese, sprinkle it now so the heat melts it. Lastly, pop on the croissant tops, and enjoy your tasty breakfast stack!

# Notes:

01 - Feel free to tweak with what you’ve got or what fits your diet.
02 - The sauce can stay fresh in your fridge for a week.
03 - Wrap assembled sandwiches in foil for reheating. A quick oven warm-up will do!
