Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Base

8 croissants, sliced in half
8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
8 slices deli ham

Scrambled Eggs

6 large eggs
⅓ cup whole milk
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Croissants: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the bottom halves of the croissants in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place one slice of ham and one slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each croissant base.
Make Scrambled Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Heat a greased pan or skillet over medium-high heat, pour in the egg mixture, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, scraping the bottom to ensure even cooking.
Incorporate Mozzarella: When the eggs are mostly cooked but still moist, stir in the shredded mozzarella until melted and combined. Finish cooking the eggs to your desired consistency, then remove from heat.
Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon a generous amount of the creamy scrambled eggs over the ham and cheddar on each croissant bottom half. Top with the second halves of the croissants.
Bake the Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheddar cheese is melted and the croissants are toasted to a golden brown.
Serve or Store: Serve the sandwiches immediately for best flavor and texture. Alternatively, allow them to cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for later.
Reheat Instructions: To reheat frozen sandwiches, unwrap them, place on a paper towel, and microwave for about 1 minute or until heated through.

Notes

Feel free to substitute ham with turkey or bacon for a different flavor.
Use low-fat milk or a milk alternative to reduce fat content.
For a spicier option, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the eggs.
To make ahead, assemble sandwiches and freeze before baking to save time.
Reheat thoroughly to ensure cheeses melt evenly and sandwich is warm inside.
