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. If using larger croissants, cut them into quarters for appropriate sandwich size.
- Heat Skillet: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the pan is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
- Cook Eggs: Lightly beat the eggs and pour into the skillet. Stir continuously for about 3-5 minutes until the eggs are just set but still moist. Stir in half and half, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place a portion of scrambled eggs onto the bottom half of each croissant. Follow with a slice of ham and a piece of cheddar cheese. Top with the other half of the croissant to complete the sandwich.
- Wrap and Freeze: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness. Arrange the wrapped sandwiches on a tray or container and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for storage.
- Reheat to Serve: When ready to eat, remove the plastic wrap and wrap the sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute ham with turkey or bacon for different flavor profiles.
- For a lighter option, use milk or a dairy-free alternative instead of half and half in the scrambled eggs.
- Wrap sandwiches tightly to prevent freezer burn and ensure optimal freshness.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences before assembling.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; adjust accordingly for even heating.
