🧾 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 4 large croissants, halved (fresh & buttery)

- 4 slices of thick-cut bacon, crispy
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Cook the Meats
In a skillet over medium heat, add a light drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook the sausage links for 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Lower the skillet heat to medium-low and pour in the egg mixture.
Gently stir until the eggs are just set.
Sprinkle in the cheddar cheese and let it melt.

This flavorful spread adds a sweet and tangy twist that elevates your sandwich.
4. Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread the maple-dijon sauce onto the bottom half of each croissant.
- Layer in the scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage.
- Cover with the top half of the croissant.
- Sprinkle with chopped chives for a pop of flavor and color.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm. Perfect with coffee or fresh juice!
