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 all ingredients by halving the mini croissants and setting aside the ham and cheese slices.
- 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 and pour them into the skillet. Whisk continuously and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the eggs are just set. Stir in half and half, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
- Assemble Sandwiches. Fill each halved croissant with a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese, forming 8 sandwiches in total.
- Wrap for Freezing. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness and place them in the freezer for later use.
- Reheat to 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.
Notes
- You can substitute the ham with turkey or bacon according to preference.
- Use regular croissants cut into quarters if mini croissants are unavailable.
- Half and half can be swapped for milk or a dairy-free alternative for a lighter sandwich.
- For a richer flavor, olive oil can be replaced with butter when cooking eggs.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; adjust accordingly to ensure the sandwich is heated through.
