Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 8 small eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sandwich
- 4 croissants
- 4 slices of cheese (such as cheddar or American)
- 4 slices of ham
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) to prepare for baking the assembled croissants.
- Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together 4 of the 8 small eggs, adding salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Cook Eggs: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently until set. Divide the cooked eggs in half, flip to cook both sides evenly, then fold the egg in half and half again to create a roughly square shape. Repeat this entire step with the remaining 4 eggs.
- Assemble Croissants: Slice each croissant in half horizontally. On the bottom halves, layer one slice of ham, one folded egg portion, and one slice of cheese. Cover with the top halves of the croissants.
- Prepare for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the assembled croissants on it, spaced evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese melts and the ham is warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- You can use your favorite type of cheese such as cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese.
- Adding a pinch of herbs like chives or parsley to the eggs can enhance flavor.
- For a healthier version, opt for whole wheat croissants or reduce the amount of cheese.
- Make sure not to overcook the eggs; they should be soft and tender before folding.
- These sandwiches can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
