Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 eggs
- 1 pound thinly sliced ham
- 4 croissants
- 4 slices American cheese
Additional Protein and Dairy:
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare a foil-lined baking sheet to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Create a smooth egg base by whisking eggs with milk, incorporating salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium temperature, carefully cooking eggs until they reach a soft, tender scrambled consistency without overcooking.
- Carefully slice each croissant horizontally, creating a perfect sandwich foundation.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard across the bottom half of each croissant, adding a tangy background note to the sandwich.
- Construct the sandwich layers strategically: first place ham, followed by fluffy scrambled eggs, then sprinkle shredded cheese, and crown with a slice of American cheese.
- Gently position the croissant top to complete the sandwich structure.
- Craft a sweet-savory glaze by melting remaining butter and blending with brown sugar, then delicately brush across the croissant surfaces to promote golden browning.
- Transfer sandwiches to the prepared baking sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes, watching for perfectly melted cheese and a crisp, golden croissant exterior.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately while warm and cheese is gloriously melted.
Notes
- Elevate flavor by using high-quality ham and artisan cheese for richer taste profiles.
- Customize sandwiches with bacon, turkey, or vegetarian alternatives like scrambled tofu for dietary flexibility.
- Prepare eggs gently to maintain soft, creamy texture and prevent overcooking during scrambling.
- Store assembled sandwiches wrapped in parchment paper for easy meal prep and quick morning grab-and-go option.
