Croissant Breakfast Boats

Croissant Breakfast Boats : The Ultimate Grab and Go Breakfast Idea


  • Author: Lyndy

Description

Delicious Croissant Breakfast Boats are filled with eggs, sausage, and cheese—baked until golden and bubbly. The ultimate grab-and-go morning meal that’s easy, customizable, and perfect for busy mornings or holiday brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bakery croissants (not minis)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup cooked sausage, crumbled (pork, turkey, or plant-based)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or melted butter for brushing

Optional Fillings:

  • Diced bell peppers
  • Mushrooms
  • Spinach
  • Crumbled bacon
  • Hot sauce or Dijon mustard for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice each croissant down the top center to form a pocket. Hollow out some of the interior to make room for the filling.
  3. If using raw sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cheese, cooked sausage, green onions, salt, and pepper. Add optional veggies if desired.
  5. Spoon the egg mixture into each croissant, filling just below the top.
  6. Place croissants on the baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes or until eggs are set and croissants are golden brown.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t overfill—eggs expand during baking.
  • Use fresh, high-quality croissants for best texture.
  • Great for meal prep: refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze and reheat as needed.
  • Experiment with fillings: Florentine (spinach + Swiss), Pizza (mozzarella + pepperoni), or Sweet & Savory (brie + apple + honey).
