Maple Mustard Croissant Sandwich (Printer-Friendly)

Croissants layered with bacon, maple mustard, and eggs—quick, rich, and full of flavor.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 4 fresh bakery croissants, halved horizontally
02 - 4 large eggs, whisked until frothy
03 - 8 slices thick-cut bacon
04 - 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Maple Mustard Sauce

08 - 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
09 - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, preferably whole grain

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Slice croissants horizontally using a serrated knife. Optionally, lightly butter the cut sides and toast for 2 minutes until golden.
02 - Place bacon in a cold skillet. Turn heat to medium and cook until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
03 - Combine maple syrup and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk until blended and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
04 - Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in eggs and gently fold until just set, about 2 minutes.
05 - Spread maple mustard sauce on the bottom half of each croissant. Add 2 bacon slices, scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining croissant halves.
06 - Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese and heat through. Serve immediately.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Maple mustard sauce can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to two weeks.
02 - Assemble components in advance for meal prep and reheat in oven before serving.
03 - Day-old croissants offer better structural support than fresh ones.
04 - Add fresh greens like baby spinach or arugula for balance.
05 - Cook eggs until just set as residual heat will continue cooking them.
