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 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, slice ham and cheese as needed, and set aside.
- Heat Oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook Eggs: Lightly beat the 4 large eggs and pour them into the skillet, stirring gently. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the eggs just begin to set, then stir in 0.25 cup half and half. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste, continuing to cook until creamy and fully set but still soft.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Fill each halved croissant with a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese, forming 8 individual breakfast sandwiches.
- Wrap and Freeze: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to maintain freshness and place all wrapped sandwiches into the freezer for storage.
- Reheat to Serve: When ready to eat, remove the plastic wrap, wrap sandwich in a paper towel, and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until heated thoroughly and cheese is melted.
Notes
- You can substitute olive oil with butter for a richer flavor in the scrambled eggs.
- Mini croissants provide perfect single servings, but regular croissants can be quartered if mini are unavailable.
- For dairy-free or lighter versions, use milk or a plant-based half and half alternative.
- Swap ham with turkey, bacon, or even a vegetarian meat substitute for variety.
- To crisp the sandwiches after microwaving, place them in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes.
- These sandwiches are best consumed within 1 month of freezing for optimal freshness.
