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 have your cooking area ready for making the sandwiches.
- Heat the oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Cook eggs: Lightly beat 4 large eggs and pour into the skillet. Whisk continuously, cooking for approximately 3-5 minutes until the eggs are just set but still moist. Stir in 0.25 cup half and half and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
- Assemble sandwiches: Take each halved mini croissant, fill with a portion of the scrambled eggs, one slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese. Repeat for all croissants to create 8 sandwiches.
- Freeze: Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to preserve freshness and place in the freezer until ready to eat.
- Reheat and enjoy: 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
- You can substitute the ham with turkey or bacon for a different flavor.
- Use regular-sized croissants quartered if mini croissants are unavailable.
- Butter can replace olive oil in the recipe for a richer taste.
- Half and half can be swapped with milk or a non-dairy alternative to reduce calories or for lactose intolerance.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; adjust accordingly to ensure thorough heating without overcooking.
