Burger King Croissant Ingredients

For a Burger King croissant sandwich, you’ll need:

• Croissants
• Ground breakfast sausage
• Eggs
• Water
• Salt
• Garlic powder
• Cooking spray or canola oil
• American cheese slices

Ingredient Notes

Choose round croissants rather than the traditional crescent shape for the best results.

You can swap the American cheese for your favorite.

You can substitute the water for the eggs with a splash of milk.

How to Make a Croissant Breakfast Sandwich

To cook the sausage patties:

1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2. While the skillet is heating up, make four even-sized sausage patties. They need to be just slightly larger than the croissants you are using.
3. Add the sausage patties to the skillet and cook thoroughly. It should take about three to four minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the patties. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the centers are at least 165 degrees, or cut a small slit in the middle of each patty to check for doneness.
4. Remove the cooked patties and drain them on a paper towel-lined wire rack—reserve them for later.

To cook the eggs:

1. Wipe out the nonstick skillet you used for cooking the sausages and heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Reusing the same skillet adds a lot of extra flavor to the eggs.
2. Whisk the eggs with water, salt, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
3. Grease the pan with non-stick spray or a little canola oil.
4. Pour half of the beaten egg mixture into the hot skillet. It should be a thin layer in the shape of a circle.
5. Stir the egg mixture with a silicone spatula until a few lumps of eggs form.
6. Let the eggs cook for about a minute more until the bottom and edge of the egg sets and the top loses most of its shine.
7. Fold the eggs in half into a half circle. Cook for another minute, then flip. Use the spatula to cut the half circle of eggs into two pieces and place a slice of American cheese onto each.
8. Place the egg and cheese on top of the sausage patties already on the wire rack.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 with the rest of the egg mixture.

To assemble a Burger King croissant sandwich:

1. Cut the croissant in half with a serrated knife.
2. Put the egg, cheese, and sausage on the bottom half and place the other half on top.
3. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Recipe Variations

Get creative with your croissant sandwiches. Try these popular options for inspiration:

• Bacon, Egg & Cheese:Replace the sausage with cooked slices of bacon.
• Ham, Egg & Cheese:Substitute the sausage with Canadian bacon or deli ham.
• Egg & Cheese:Make it vegetarian by leaving out the meat.

What to Serve With It

Try adding a little ketchup, hot sauce, or salsa. You can turn this croissant breakfast sandwich into a complete meal with a cup of coffee and hash browns ortater tots.

How to Store Burger King Croissan’wiches

Keep leftover sandwiches in the fridge or freezer. For the best bread texture, store the filling inside an airtight container in the refrigerator and leave the croissants in the bread box.

If you are freezing the sandwiches, place the cooled egg, sausage, and cheese onto a baking tray and freeze. Then assemble the sandwiches. Wrap each individually in aluminum foil and store it in a freezer bag.

How to Reheat Them

The best way to reheat a frozen Burger King Croissan’wich is in a preheated 375-degree Fahrenheit oven for about 10 minutes or until hot. You can reheat without removing the aluminum foil.

To reheat the chilled sausage, egg, and cheese, zap in the microwave for 30 seconds. Let the filling rest in the microwave while slicing a fresh croissant, then assemble the sandwich and enjoy.
