Freezer Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
Description
The Freezer Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches recipe starts by cooking scrambled eggs gently with olive oil and half and half, seasoned with salt and pepper. These eggs, combined with slices of ham and cheddar cheese, are layered in halved mini croissants. Wrapping and freezing the sandwiches allows them to be stored for later convenience.
To serve, the sandwiches are reheated directly from frozen in the microwave after removing plastic wrap and wrapping in a paper towel. The eggs retain a soft texture while the ham and cheese melt together inside the flaky croissant. This method provides a quick, handheld breakfast option with balanced flavors and textures.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 egg lightly beaten, large
- ¼ cup half and half
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 8 Croissant halved horizontally, mini
- 4 ounces ham thinly sliced
- 4 lices cheddar cheese halved
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add eggs to the skillet and cook, whisking, until they just begin to set. Gently whisk in half and half; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-5 minutes; set aside.
- Fill croissants with eggs, ham and cheese to make 8 sandwiches. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
- To reheat, remove plastic wrap from the frozen sandwich and wrap in a paper towel. Place into microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through completely.
- Serve immediately.
