At home or on the go, make-ahead, freezer-friendly Egg Ham Cheese Croissants are a simple way to make a full breakfast the entire family will love.
We are big breakfast eaters at our house. On those days when I just didn’t have enough time in the morning to make myself a real breakfast, I would stop at a local fast food place or coffee shop to pick up a breakfast sandwich. Now I make my own Egg Ham Cheese Croissants.
Egg Ham Cheese Croissants make-ahead/freezer friendly
When I know that I have a couple of busy weeks ahead of me, I will spend some time on Sunday afternoon to do some meal prep. These tasty breakfast sandwiches are easy to make ahead of time.
- I make a dozen of these breakfast sandwiches, save a few for breakfast the next morning and freeze the rest.
- I simply let them cool completely, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, put them all into a large zip-top bag, and pop them into the freezer.
- When I’m ready to eat one, I unwrap it, place it on a paper plate or microwave oven-safe plate and microwave it for 15-20 seconds. Then I’m ready to grab my coffee, my briefcase, my bag, and my sandwich and jump in the car. It’s that easy!
And I’ll let you in on a little secret…I’ve even made these for friends for Sunday brunch and they didn’t even know that I made them ahead of time. I just thawed them on a cookie sheet in the refrigerator and warmed them in the oven when they arrived. Easy and it was my little secret!

Description
At home or on the go, make ahead, freezer-friendly Egg Ham Cheese Croissants are a simple way to make a full breakfast the entire family will love.
Ingredients
- 12 small or mini croissants – sliced in half
- 6 extra large size eggs or 8 large size eggs
- 1/4 cup half-n-half
- 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
- 6 slices deli ham – cut in half
- 6 sliced of deli cheddar cheese – cut in half
- 2 TBS mayonnaise (I use Greek style)
- 1 TBS Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Add olive oil to a large non-stick stove-top pan or skillet and turn the heat on medium low.
- Crack eggs into a large bowl and beat in the half-n-half.
- Pour eggs into the pan and let it sit for just a few moments.
- With a spatula, move eggs around in the pan.
- When the eggs are set, salt and pepper them to taste.
- Place them on a large plate or in a large bowl and let them cool completely.
- While the eggs are cooling, line the sliced croissant onto a cookie sheet.
- Mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
- To assemble the sandwiches, add a small amount of the mustard/mayo to one side of each croissant (I use the back of a small spoon to smear the sauce onto the croissant slice).
- Place a spoonful of the scrambled eggs on top of the sauce.
- Add a half slice of ham and a half slice of cheese and repeat until all of the sandwiches are made.
- Place the cookie sheet into the oven and bake, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt.
- Serve immediately or let them cool completely and freeze.
Notes
To freeze the sandwiches:
- Make sure they are completely cooled and at room temperature.
- Wrap each croissant individually with plastic wrap.
- Place them all into a large zip-top bag and place them in the freezer.
