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 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 halve the mini croissants. Prepare your workspace for assembling the sandwiches.
- Heat Oil: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Cook Eggs: Add lightly beaten eggs to the skillet. Whisk continuously and cook 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.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Fill each halved croissant with a portion of the scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese, creating 8 sandwiches in total.
- Wrap for Freezing: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness and prevent freezer burn. Place all wrapped sandwiches in the freezer.
- Reheat and Serve: To enjoy, remove plastic wrap, rewrap sandwich in a paper towel and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Substitute butter for olive oil for a richer flavor when cooking eggs.
- Use regular croissants cut into quarters if mini croissants are not available.
- Swap ham with turkey or bacon for variety in flavor.
- Cheddar cheese can be replaced with Swiss, Gouda, or any good melting cheese.
- For dairy-free options, replace half and half with a plant-based milk alternative.
- To avoid soggy croissants when reheating, unwrap properly and adjust microwave time as needed.
