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 prepare your workspace for assembling the sandwiches.
- Heat Olive Oil: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Cook Eggs: Lightly beat the eggs and pour them into the skillet, whisking continuously. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the eggs are just set, then stir in the half and half. 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, assembling a total of 8 sandwiches.
- Wrap and Freeze: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness, then place them all in the freezer for storage.
- 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. Enjoy your quick and tasty breakfast!
