Baked Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
Description
The Baked Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches feature sliced croissants layered with ham and sharp cheddar cheese. Scrambled eggs enriched with milk and mozzarella provide a soft, cheesy filling placed atop the ham and cheddar layers. After assembling, the sandwiches are baked to melt the cheddar and toast the croissants slightly, melding the flavors and textures. The eggs are gently cooked to a soft scramble before baking, offering a creamy contrast to the flaky bread.
This recipe yields eight sandwiches, making it suitable for family breakfasts or small gatherings. Serving immediately ensures the croissants maintain their crisp edges while the interior remains warm and melty. Alternatively, the sandwiches can be cooled, wrapped individually, and frozen for quick reheating in the future.
When preparing, assemble the sandwiches in a single layer to ensure even baking. The eggs should be cooked just until mostly set before adding mozzarella, which melts into the scramble for added richness. Baking for ten minutes allows the cheddar to melt fully and the croissants to develop a light toasting without drying out. Use whole milk for a creamier egg texture.
Ingredients
- 8 croissants sliced in half
- 8 lices cheddar cheese sharp
- 8 lices ham deli
- 6 egg large
- ⅓ cup milk whole
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange bottom half of croissants in Ia single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place one slice of ham and one slice of cheese on each croissant.
- In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture into greased pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Use a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula to gently stir the eggs, being sure to scrape the bottom of the pan as you are stirring so eggs cook evenly.
- Once eggs begin to look mostly cooked, stir in shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and combined, then finish cooking eggs to your liking. Remove from heat.
- Top ham and cheese with a large scoop of scrambled eggs. Top with second half of the croissant buns. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until cheddar cheese is melty and croissants are toasted.
- Serve immediately OR allow to cool completely before wrapping individually in plastic wrap and freezing. To reheat, unwrap, place on a paper towel and microwave for 1 minute or until heated through.
Notes
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap before freezing to maintain freshness for up to one month.
- Reheat sandwiches individually from frozen for a convenient breakfast option.
