Ingredients
Scale
Spread
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (softened)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Sandwich
- 4 large fresh croissants
- 1 cup cheese (such as gouda, baby swiss, or cheddar), sliced or shredded
- 8 ounces deli-sliced ham
- 6 slices cooked bacon
Scrambled Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 1 splash milk (about 1 tablespoon)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking eggs)
Optional
- Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, softened salted butter, and honey. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended to create a tangy and slightly sweet spread for your croissants.
- Prepare the croissants: Carefully cut each croissant in half lengthwise, creating a pocket that will hold all the delicious fillings.
- Spread the mixture: Generously spread the honey-Dijon butter mixture evenly on the inside of each croissant half to add flavor and moisture.
- Assemble meat and cheese: Layer cheese slices, deli ham, and cooked bacon evenly inside the croissant bottoms, building a hearty base for the eggs.
- Mix the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, a splash of milk, and salt and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy, which will make your scrambled eggs fluffy and tender.
- Cook the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir continuously until the eggs are softly set but still creamy. Remove from heat promptly to avoid overcooking.
- Fill the croissants: Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the layered meat and cheese inside each croissant bottom, packing the fillings securely.
- Finish and garnish: Place the croissant tops over the filled bottoms to complete each sandwich. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped chives on top for a bright, fresh garnish before serving.
Notes
- Use day-old croissants for easier slicing without crumbling.
- You can substitute ham with turkey or roast beef as preferred.
- For extra flavor, consider adding sautéed spinach or tomato slices inside the sandwich.
- Scramble eggs gently over medium heat to keep them creamy and avoid dryness.
- These sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, then reheated in a toaster oven for best freshness.
