Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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 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)
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese (Halved; swap for any melting cheese like Swiss or Gouda)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and cut the mini croissants in half horizontally to prepare for filling.
- Heat Oil: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Cook Eggs: Lightly beat the eggs and pour into the hot skillet. Whisk continuously and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft. Stir in the half and half, then season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Continue cooking briefly until creamy and fully cooked.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place a portion of the scrambled eggs on the bottom half of each croissant, add a slice of ham and a piece of cheddar cheese on top. Cover with the croissant top to form a sandwich.
- Wrap and Freeze: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to maintain freshness, then place all wrapped sandwiches in the freezer for storage.
- Reheat and Serve: When ready to eat, remove the plastic wrap, wrap the sandwich in a paper towel, and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute half and half with almond or oat milk.
- You can swap ham with cooked bacon, turkey, or a vegetarian alternative to suit your preference.
- Use regular-sized croissants cut into quarters if minis are unavailable.
- Microwave times may vary depending on wattage; adjust accordingly to avoid overheating.
- For added flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or fresh herbs before freezing.
