Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat butter in a small skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    If sausage is fresh, cook it 2 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Crack egg into the same skillet. Cook until whites set but yolk jiggles when shaken, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Slice croissant in half. Layer cheese on the bottom, then sausage, then fried egg. Close the top.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately while the egg is still warm and cheese begins to melt.
