Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large buttery croissant
- 2–3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2–3 slices deli ham
- 1–2 slices cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese
- Optional: arugula or spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Croissant: Slice the croissant horizontally. Warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes for extra flakiness.
- Cook the Eggs: Whisk eggs in a bowl. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and slowly scramble the eggs until soft and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the Cheese: Place cheese over the warm eggs and cover the pan briefly to melt it.
- Warm the Ham: Add ham slices to the pan for 10–20 seconds to heat through and enhance flavor.
- Assemble: Layer greens (optional) on the bottom half of the croissant. Add cheesy eggs on top. Layer the warmed ham and close the croissant.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with fresh fruit, coffee, or your favorite breakfast side.
Notes
For meal prep, assemble and wrap sandwiches tightly, then refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a 325°F oven for best texture. Swap ham for turkey, bacon, or plant-based options, and feel free to add tomato, avocado, or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
