Servings
- 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
For the Scrambled Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (or heavy cream for a richer scramble)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup shredded cheese (optional, but highly recommended for extra richness)
For the Croissant Sandwiches:
- 4 croissants, halved
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened (for spreading on croissants)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness on the croissants)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (or yellow/honey mustard, as preferred)
- 4 slices deli-style ham (or cooked bacon, sausage patties, turkey, etc.)
- 4 slices American cheese (or any sliced cheese you prefer)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
- Stir gently and continuously with a spatula until the eggs are softly set but still creamy. Remove from heat just before they’re fully cooked, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
- If using shredded cheese, fold it into the warm eggs and let it melt slightly. Set aside.
Step 2: Toast and Prep the Croissants
- Spread the softened butter evenly on the cut sides of each croissant half. Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar on the buttered sides if desired for a hint of sweetness.
- Toast the croissants lightly in a toaster oven, regular oven, or on a skillet until golden and fragrant.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bottom halves of the toasted croissants.
- Place a slice of ham (or your chosen protein) on each bottom half.
- Spoon a generous portion of the scrambled eggs over the ham.
- Top each sandwich with a slice of American cheese (or your preferred cheese).
- Place the top halves of the croissants over the cheese to complete the sandwiches.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the sandwiches warm. For an extra touch, wrap them in parchment paper for easy handling if eating on the go.
- Pair with fresh fruit, a side salad, or coffee for a complete breakfast experience.
Pro Tips
- Cheese Options: Swap American cheese with cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- Egg Variations: Add chopped herbs like chives or parsley to the scrambled eggs for freshness.
- Sweet and Savory Combo: The optional brown sugar adds a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the savory ingredients.
