Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 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)
Sandwich Assembly
- 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)
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese (Halved; swap for any melting cheese like Swiss or Gouda)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and have your workspace ready to assemble sandwiches efficiently.
- Cook Eggs: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add lightly beaten eggs to the skillet. Whisk continuously and cook the eggs for about 3-5 minutes until they are just set but still moist.
- Finish Eggs: Stir in half and half to the scrambled eggs, then season well with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Take each halved croissant and fill it with a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese. Repeat to create 8 sandwiches total.
- Wrap and Freeze: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness. Place the wrapped sandwiches in the freezer for storage.
- Reheat to Serve: When ready to eat, remove the plastic wrap, wrap the sandwich in a paper towel, and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Substitute regular croissants cut into quarters if mini croissants are not available.
- Use turkey or bacon instead of ham for different flavor options.
- Cheese can be swapped for Swiss, Gouda, or any preferred melting cheese.
- For a dairy-free version, replace half and half with a suitable non-dairy milk alternative.
- Microwave times may vary depending on wattage; adjust accordingly for thorough heating.
- These sandwiches can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month for best quality.
