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: Prepare your ingredients by halving the croissants and lightly beating the eggs. Prepping everything beforehand will streamline the cooking process.
- Heat Oil: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Cook Eggs: Add the lightly beaten eggs to the skillet, whisking occasionally as they cook for about 3-5 minutes until just set. Then stir in the half and half, seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper to taste, creating creamy scrambled eggs.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Fill each halved croissant with a portion of the scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese. This will make 8 sandwiches total.
- Wrap and Freeze: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness. Place them in the freezer so they can be stored for future breakfasts.
- Reheat and Enjoy: When ready to eat, remove the plastic wrap and wrap the sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through, then enjoy your quick and delicious breakfast.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute olive oil with butter when cooking the eggs.
- You may substitute ham with turkey or bacon based on preference.
