What is the Burger King Impossible Croissan’wich?
After the success of the Impossible Whopper, Burger King has brought the plant-based revolution to the breakfast menu in the form of the Impossible Croissan’wich.
How is it?
Before the McGriddle took over the fast food breakfast game, Burger King Croissan’wiches were number one in my heart with a bullet. I’ve probably eaten 200 Sausage Croissan’wiches in my lifetime, and I can happily report the “Impossible” version is about 95% as good as the old reliable I love so much.
I’ve had a couple plant-based breakfast sausages, and this was easily the best texturally. It wasn’t chewy or gritty at all. Coupled with BK’s classic fluffy egg and croissant, it actually had the exact same bite as a regular Croissan’wich.
The only reason I won’t say it’s quite as good is because the flavor of the sausage was slightly off.
This seemed to overcompensate, and pump too much of that smokey sausage gravy spice that always puts me in mind of Stove Top Stuffing. I said the same thing in my review of the Dunkin’ Beyond Sausage Sandwich (You’d think I’d know the spice I’m talking about by now).
I don’t.
Anything else you need to know?
I actually made a resolution this year to stop eating pork products*. I wanted to slowly but surely wean myself off eating meat every day, and I figured pork would be easier to kick than beef or chicken.
I was right, but man have I been craving a nice breakfast sandwich. I eat turkey bacon, but I haven’t had any sausage in 2020 until this, and it didn’t disappoint at all.
*Ok, I cheated once last month for the review of the Dunkin’ Croissant Stuffers. There was so little bacon in that, I’m not counting it.
Conclusion:
This is my favorite plant-based fast food item to date. I was right on the edge before, but now I’m a full-blown believer in “plants” as a sustainable protein source.
Between this and the Whopper before it, Burger King is absolutely leading the way when it comes to fast food plant-based options. I’m probably gonna eat a lot of these going forward.

The seasoning that reminds you of Thanksgiving stuffing might be sage.
i called it sage last time but wasn’t confident enough to go for it again. I think it is that.
It might also be rosemary or thyme, or any combination of the three
Does it have cheese? You don’t mention it, and it’s hard to tell in the picture.
Sorry about forgetting that. Yeah, there’s the standard slice of cheese.
The seasoning that stands out the most is “fennel”, the sausage texture and overall taste was good. I wish some of the restaurants that serve breakfast sandwiches would use turkey sausage as an option. I am allergic to mammal meats so having the option for something that reminds me of a regular meat is good.
