This is the sausage take on Panera's classic egg sandwich, and you can pick between two breads. The two versions sit just 10 calories apart, but they split differently: the croissant carries more fat, while the ciabatta brings more carbohydrates and a little more protein. Either way the build stays simple — sausage, scrambled egg, melty cheese and the bread.
