Ingredients
Scale
Croissant Sandwich
- 8 croissants – sliced in half
- 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 slices deli ham
Scrambled Eggs
- 6 large eggs
- ⅓ cup Whole Milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Croissants: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the bottom halves of the sliced croissants in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place one slice of deli ham and one slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each croissant base.
- Whisk and Cook Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Pour the egg mixture into a greased pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Scramble Eggs Gently: Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Scrape the bottom of the pan consistently to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.
- Add Mozzarella Cheese and Finish Cooking: When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese melts and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon a large scoop of the creamy scrambled eggs evenly over the ham and cheddar on each croissant bottom. Top each with the other croissant halves to form sandwiches.
- Bake Sandwiches: Place the assembled sandwiches in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese is melted and the croissants are toasted.
- Serve or Freeze: Serve the breakfast sandwiches immediately hot. Alternatively, allow them to cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap for freezing.
- Reheating Frozen Sandwiches: To reheat frozen sandwiches, unwrap and place on a paper towel. Microwave on high for 1 minute or until heated through.
Notes
- You can substitute ham with cooked bacon or sausage for variety.
- For a lighter option, use low-fat milk or cheese.
- These sandwiches freeze well and are perfect for meal prep breakfast.
- Reheat gently to prevent croissants from becoming soggy.
- Adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the eggs can add extra flavor.
