BURGER KING, CROISSAN'WICH with Sausage, Egg and Cheese
Whole food · Fast Foods
Photo: Wikipedia
A flaky, buttery croissant split and filled with a savory sausage patty, a fluffy folded egg, and melted American cheese. It delivers a satisfying crunch from the pastry, followed by a rich, salty, and savory bite from the protein-packed filling. Nutritionally, it's a calorie-dense breakfast sandwich, with over half its calories coming from fat.
💚 Why it's loved
It's beloved for the perfect marriage of textures—the crisp, buttery croissant giving way to a soft egg and savory sausage—and for being a hearty, indulgent start to the day that feels like a treat.
⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high fat and sodium content can be a concern for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure, and the refined carbs may cause a blood-sugar spike. To counteract, pair it with a side of fresh fruit or a fiber-rich vegetable, and consider eating only half while saving the rest for later.

FAQ
Is the Croissan'wich healthier than a biscuit sandwich?
It can be slightly lower in calories and sodium than a comparable biscuit sandwich, but the croissant's butter content means it is still high in saturated fat.
Can I customize my Croissan'wich order?
Yes, you can typically request no cheese or no sausage to reduce fat and sodium, and some locations may offer egg whites as a substitute.
What is the main source of protein in this sandwich?
The primary protein sources are the sausage patty and the folded egg, with a smaller contribution from the cheese.
