Notes
To make the most of the dish, be sure to press down on the croissant dough so it bakes evenly when it's in the oven.
Cut open the sausage casing. That will make it easier to break into bite-sized pieces.
For this recipe, you are going to need to grab a premade croissant dough. If you can’t find premade croissant dough, you can use frozen puff pastry dough as well.
If you are looking for a healthier option, try making this dish with more greens like spinach, kale, or collard greens.
