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 prepare your workspace for assembling the sandwiches.
- Heat Oil: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Cook Eggs: In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Pour into the skillet and gently scramble by whisking continuously for about 3-5 minutes until eggs are just set. Stir in the half and half and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Cook briefly until fully combined and creamy.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Take each halved croissant and fill with a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese. Repeat to create 8 individual sandwiches.
- Wrap for Freezing: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to preserve freshness and prevent freezer burn. Place wrapped sandwiches in the freezer.
- Reheat and Serve: When ready to eat, remove plastic wrap and wrap each sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use butter instead of olive oil for a richer egg flavor.
- Mini croissants work best for sandwich size, but regular croissants cut into quarters can be used.
- Substitute ham with turkey or cooked bacon for different flavor profiles.
- Cheese can be swapped with Swiss, Gouda, or your preferred melting cheese.
- Sandwiches can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Adjust cooking time in the microwave depending on your appliance power.
