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 and prepare all ingredients. Halve the mini croissants and set aside.
- Heat Olive Oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Lightly beat the 4 eggs and pour them into the heated skillet. Stir continuously and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the eggs are just set. Then, stir in 0.25 cup of half and half, seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Cook briefly until creamy and combined, then remove from heat.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Fill each halved croissant with a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese. This will make 8 sandwiches in total.
- Wrap for Freezing: Wrap each assembled sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness and prevent freezer burn. Place all wrapped sandwiches in the freezer.
- Reheat to Serve: When ready to eat, remove the plastic wrap and wrap the sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Enjoy a quick, warm breakfast sandwich anytime.
Notes
- Use butter instead of olive oil for a richer flavor in the scrambled eggs.
- Regular-sized croissants can be cut into quarters instead of using mini croissants.
- Ham can be substituted with turkey or bacon for variation.
- Cheddar cheese can be swapped with Swiss, Gouda, or any preferred melting cheese.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute half and half with a plant-based milk alternative.
- Microwave times may vary depending on wattage; adjust accordingly.
- To prevent sogginess, ensure sandwiches are tightly wrapped before freezing.
