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 Components
- 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
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and halved mini croissants to assemble later.
- Heat the Oil: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Cook the Eggs: Lightly beat the eggs and pour into the skillet. Whisk constantly and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the eggs are just set. Stir in half and half, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Fill each halved croissant with a portion of the scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and a piece of cheddar cheese to create 8 sandwiches.
- Wrap for Freezing: Wrap each assembled sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to lock in freshness. Place all wrapped sandwiches in the freezer.
- 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.
Notes
- You can substitute mini croissants with regular-sized croissants cut into quarters for larger sandwiches.
- Swap ham with turkey or bacon depending on your preference for variety.
- Use butter instead of olive oil for a richer flavor in the scrambled eggs.
- For a lighter option, substitute half and half with milk or a dairy-free milk alternative.
- To prevent sogginess, ensure sandwiches are tightly wrapped before freezing and reheat thoroughly.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; adjust time as needed for even heating.
