- While the egg cooks, add mayo, hot sauce and a touch of old bay. Squeeze the lemon as well and mix. You can add as little or as much hot sauce as you see fit!
- On plate, put the bottom of croissant and put a thin layer of mayonnaise, followed a layer of lettuce (chopped to fit the croissant) and dust with some salt. Then add tomato and cheese. Put a layer of mayo on top of the cheese and add the tasso on top of that followed by the fried egg. Put a dash more mayo around egg and top with your other layer of the croissant!
