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: Gather all ingredients and halve the mini croissants. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook Eggs: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs, whisking constantly, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until just set. Stir in half and half to make creamy scrambled eggs, season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Lay the bottom halves of the croissants on a surface. Spoon scrambled eggs onto each, then add a slice of ham and a piece of cheddar cheese. Cap with the other croissant halves to form sandwiches.
- Wrap and Freeze: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness, then place all wrapped sandwiches in the freezer. These can be stored for up to 1 month.
- 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 and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- Use regular-sized croissants cut into quarters if mini croissants are unavailable.
- Substitute ham with turkey or bacon for different flavors.
- Can substitute half and half with milk or any dairy-free milk substitute to lighten the dish.
- Wrap sandwiches tightly before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; adjust accordingly.
