Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash, peel (optional), and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add diced potatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown and tender, about 15–18 minutes.
Cook the Sausages
In a separate pan, cook the sausages over medium heat.
Turn occasionally until browned and cooked through, about 10–12 minutes.
Remove from heat and keep warm.
Cook the Eggs
Scrambled: Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and cook in butter over medium-low heat until creamy.
Fried: Heat butter or oil in a pan, crack eggs, and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.).
Poached: Bring water to a simmer, add a splash of vinegar, and gently drop in eggs for 3–4 minutes.
Warm the Croissants
Slice the croissants in half horizontally and lightly toast them in a skillet or oven (350°F / 175°C for 5 minutes) until warm and slightly crisp.
Assemble the Plate
Place the croissant halves on the plate.
Add a portion of roasted potatoes and sausages.
Place eggs next to the croissant and potatoes.
Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with optional condiments or sides.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I make this ahead of time?
You can dice the potatoes in advance, but for best texture, cook them fresh. Eggs and croissants are best served hot.
Q2: Can I use frozen croissants or potatoes?
Yes! Thaw frozen croissants and roast or warm them in the oven. Frozen diced potatoes work too but may need extra cooking time.
Q3: What eggs style works best?
Scrambled or fried eggs work beautifully; poached eggs add elegance.
Q4: Can this be made vegetarian?
Substitute sausages with plant-based alternatives, mushrooms, or extra roasted veggies.
