Ingredients
Scale
Sandwiches
- 4 croissants, sliced in half
- 8 eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (Mexican mix)
- 1 pound thin sliced ham
- 4 slices American cheese
Butter Spread
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prep the croissants: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the halved croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ready for assembly and baking.
- Scramble the eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, pepper, and shredded Mexican mix cheese. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, pour in the egg mixture, and scramble until fully cooked but still moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make the brown sugar-Dijon butter: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar. Microwave for about 30 seconds or until the butter has melted. Stir in the Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Brush both the top and bottom halves of each croissant generously with the brown sugar-Dijon butter mixture. Layer 4-5 slices of ham on the bottom half, then place a slice of American cheese over the ham, followed by a quarter of the scrambled eggs. Top with the other croissant half.
- Bake to finish: Wrap each assembled sandwich completely in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are warm throughout.
Notes
- Storage Instructions: Let sandwiches cool completely before wrapping in a double layer of plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months. Be aware croissants may become soggy if refrigerated too long.
- Reheating: Thaw if frozen. Reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F for 10 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted. Alternatively, unwrap and microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- Make Ahead and Freeze: Assemble sandwiches but do not bake. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze up to 3 months. When ready, unwrap, rewrap in foil, and bake as usual with extra time for melting cheese.
