Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook sausage patties in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer sausage to a plate, then reduce heat to medium and add 0.5 tbsp butter to the same skillet.

  3. Step 3

    Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk with salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet and stir gently until curds form, about 4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    While eggs cook, slice croissants in half horizontally and spread cut sides with dijon mustard.

  5. Step 5

    Toast croissant halves cut-side down in the same skillet over medium heat, 2 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.

  6. Step 6

    Layer bottom croissant with sausage, warm scrambled eggs, cheddar slice, and fresh thyme, then cap with top half.
