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
Scale
- 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.
