Ingredients
Scale
Eggs & Dairy
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Substitute with butter for a richer flavor)
- 4 large Eggs (Adjust quantity for fewer servings)
- 0.25 cup Half and Half (Substitute with milk or a dairy-free alternative for a lighter option)
- Kosher Salt (Adjust to taste)
- Black Pepper (Adjust to taste)
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese (Halved; swap for any melting cheese like Swiss or Gouda)
Sandwich Components
- 8 mini Croissants (Halved; regular-sized croissants can be cut into quarters)
- 4 ounces Thinly Sliced Ham (Substitute with turkey or bacon for a flavorful twist)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather and measure all ingredients. Halve the croissants and slice cheese if needed.
- Heat Olive Oil: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Lightly beat the eggs and pour into the skillet. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until just set. Then stir in the half and half, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat when creamy and cooked through.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Fill each halved croissant with a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese, making 8 sandwiches total.
- Freeze Sandwiches: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness and place them in the freezer for storage.
- Reheat and Serve: When ready to eat, remove plastic wrap, wrap sandwich in a paper towel, and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Enjoy your warm, convenient breakfast!

- Half and half can be replaced with milk or a dairy-free creamer for a lighter option.
- Wrap sandwiches tightly before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
