How to Make Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
Step 1: Prepare the Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, ⅓ cup of whole milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. This mixture will make your scrambled eggs nice and creamy.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled but still moist. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice each croissant in half horizontally. On the bottom half of each croissant, place one slice of sharp cheddar cheese, then a slice of deli ham, followed by a scoop of the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 4: Toast the Sandwiches
Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are warmed through.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the oven, place the top halves of the croissants on, and serve immediately. These sandwiches are best enjoyed warm and gooey!
