Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (or substitute with butter for a richer flavor)
- 4 large Eggs (adjust quantity for fewer servings)
- 0.25 cup Half and Half (or milk/dairy-free alternative for a lighter option)
- Kosher Salt (to taste)
- Black Pepper (to taste)
- 8 mini Croissants, halved (regular-sized croissants can be cut into quarters)
- 4 ounces Thinly Sliced Ham (or substitute with turkey or bacon)
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese, halved (or any melting cheese like Swiss or Gouda)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and set up 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: Lightly beat the eggs, pour them into the skillet, and cook while whisking for about 3-5 minutes until just set. Stir in the half and half, then 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 cheese, creating 8 individual breakfast sandwiches.
- Wrap for Freezing: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness and prevent freezer burn, then place them in the freezer.
- Reheat and Serve: When ready to eat, remove the plastic wrap, wrap the sandwich in a paper towel, and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- You can customize the sandwiches by substituting ham with turkey, bacon, or a vegetarian alternative.
- For a richer taste, use butter instead of olive oil.
- Regular-sized croissants can be quartered to make the sandwiches if mini croissants are unavailable.
- Ensure the sandwiches are wrapped tightly to avoid freezer burn and maintain freshness.
- Microwave times may vary based on appliance wattage; adjust as needed.
