Ingredients
  

For the Scrambled Eggs
  • 4 large eggs Fresh large eggs are ideal for the best flavor and texture.
  • 1/4 cup whole milk Adds extra creaminess.
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt Enhances the flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground for a warming kick.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Provides richness when cooking.
For the Sandwich Assembly
  • 4 pieces croissants Both fresh and frozen can work.
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard Offers a tangy bite.
  • 8 oz deli ham Thinly sliced.
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese Melts beautifully for richness.

Equipment

  • nonstick skillet
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt butter. Pour in the egg mixture and gently push the edges toward the center using a spatula. Cook until softly set and creamy.
  2. While eggs are warm, split croissants in half. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each half. Layer ham, followed by scrambled eggs, and top with cheddar cheese. Place croissant top on the sandwich.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes until heated through and cheese melts.
  4. For storage, wrap each sandwich tightly in aluminum foil. Store in resealable bags in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, remove foil and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 20-30 minutes.

Notes

Use low heat for scrambled eggs and avoid soggy croissants by cooling the eggs before assembly. Ensure sandwiches are wrapped tightly before freezing to avoid freezer burn. Reheat uncovered for best results.
