→ Key components
01 -
8 slices of bacon, already cooked
02 -
4 croissants, large-sized
03 -
½ pound freshly sliced deli ham
04 -
8 thin slices of cheese (like cheddar, gouda, or swiss)
05 -
2 spoons of dijon mustard
06 -
2 spoons of salted butter, softened
07 -
2 spoons of honey
→ Egg layer
08 -
5 big eggs
09 -
A quick splash of milk
10 -
A sprinkle of salt and pepper
11 -
1 spoon of butter for cooking
12 -
Chives, freshly chopped (optional for decoration)
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F. In a small dish, combine the butter, mustard, and honey. Place it in the microwave for 20 seconds so the butter softens. Stir it all well.
02 -
Take a serrated knife and split the croissants in half horizontally. Use a brush to spread the mustard and butter mix over the cut sides.
03 -
Start stacking the sandwiches by adding cheese, ham, bacon, and another cheese slice onto the bottom halves of the croissants. Top off with the other half and set them on a baking sheet.
04 -
Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese gets gooey, and the croissants develop a golden crispiness.
05 -
While the croissants are cooking, whisk up eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Melt some butter in a skillet on medium heat, pour in the eggs, and gently stir for 2-3 minutes to keep them soft. Move them to a bowl once done.
06 -
Take the croissants out of the oven, place the scrambled eggs over them, and sprinkle with chives if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
For early prep, make sandwiches without eggs and chill on a tray overnight. Bake when ready, then finish with eggs on top.
02 -
For make-ahead meals, assemble everything including the eggs. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for about a month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes or air fryer for 10-15 minutes. Don't forget to thaw frozen ones first!
