Ingredients
Scale
Croissants and Fillings
- 8 croissants, sliced in half
- 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 slices deli ham
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Croissants: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the bottom halves of the croissants in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place one slice of ham and one slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each croissant base.
- Make Scrambled Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Heat a greased pan or skillet over medium-high heat, pour in the egg mixture, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, scraping the bottom to ensure even cooking.
- Incorporate Mozzarella: When the eggs are mostly cooked but still moist, stir in the shredded mozzarella until melted and combined. Finish cooking the eggs to your desired consistency, then remove from heat.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon a generous amount of the creamy scrambled eggs over the ham and cheddar on each croissant bottom half. Top with the second halves of the croissants.
- Bake the Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheddar cheese is melted and the croissants are toasted to a golden brown.
- Serve or Store: Serve the sandwiches immediately for best flavor and texture. Alternatively, allow them to cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for later.
- Reheat Instructions: To reheat frozen sandwiches, unwrap them, place on a paper towel, and microwave for about 1 minute or until heated through.
Notes
- You can customize the sandwich by substituting ham with bacon or sausage if preferred.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
- Make sure to not overcook the scrambled eggs to keep them creamy and soft inside the sandwich.
- These sandwiches freeze well and make great make-ahead breakfast options.
- Microwaving wrapped in a paper towel helps retain moisture during reheating.
