Total Time

Servings
- 8 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 8 croissants
- 8 slices American cheese
- 8 slices ham or bacon (cooked if using bacon)
- 8 eggs
- 3 tablespoons oil (for frying eggs)
- Salt and pepper , to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Croissants
- Preheat your oven’s broiler.
- Slice the croissants in half horizontally and arrange them cut-side up on a sheet pan.
- Place the sheet pan under the broiler for 1–2 minutes , or until the croissants are lightly toasted. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs
- Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat .
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, breaking the yolks with a spatula or fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the eggs thoroughly, flipping them once halfway through, until they’re cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
- Place one slice of ham or bacon on the bottom half of each toasted croissant.
- Top each with a cooked egg, followed by a slice of American cheese .
- Add the top half of the croissant to complete the sandwich.
Step 4: Melt the Cheese
- Microwave each assembled sandwich for 15 seconds to melt the cheese slightly and warm everything through. Alternatively, you can place the sandwiches back under the broiler for 30 seconds to achieve the same effect.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the sandwiches warm as-is or with your favorite sides like fresh fruit, hash browns, or a simple green salad. Pair with coffee or orange juice for a complete breakfast experience.
Pro Tips
- Customize Your Fillings: Swap ham for turkey, sausage, or even avocado for a different flavor profile.
- Cheese Options: Use cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese instead of American for a bolder taste.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Assemble the sandwiches ahead of time (without microwaving) and store them in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds before serving.
- For Runny Yolks: If you prefer your eggs sunny-side up or over-easy, skip breaking the yolks and cook them accordingly.
