  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 croissant muffins

Ingredients

Croissant Cups

  • 2 everything but the bagel croissants, cut in half horizontally

Filling

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 sweet Italian sausage links, casings removed, crumbled and cooked through
  • Cheddar cheese, shredded, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
  2. Create Croissant Cups: Cut each croissant horizontally in half, then press each half firmly into the wells of the muffin tin, forming a cup shape that will hold the sausage and egg mixture.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined, ensuring a fluffy texture once baked.
  4. Add Sausage to Cups: Evenly distribute the cooked, crumbled sweet Italian sausage into each croissant cup, creating a savory base flavor.
  5. Fill Cups with Eggs: Pour the whisked egg mixture over the sausage in each cup, filling them up to the top without overflowing.
  6. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the filled croissant cups to add a creamy, melty layer of flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the eggs have set fully and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  8. Cool and Garnish: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Garnish each muffin with fresh chopped chives for a bright, fresh finish.
  9. Serve: Enjoy warm as a satisfying breakfast or brunch option that’s easy to grab on the go or serve to guests.

Notes

  • You can prepare the sausage ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator to save time when assembling the muffins.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
  • Adding finely chopped bell peppers or spinach to the egg mixture can boost the nutritional content and add extra color and flavor.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free croissants if available.
  • Leftover muffins can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave before serving.
