Croissant Breakfast Sandwich
INGREDIENTS
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 6 slices thinly sliced deli ham
- 6 croissants, halved horizontally
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the eggs in a large bowl and whisk until the whites and yolks are completely mixed and the eggs are a bit frothy.
- Whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper until just combined.
- Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture and let sit undisturbed until the eggs just start to set around the edges, about 2 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, push the set eggs from the edges into the center.
- Spread the uncooked eggs back into an even layer.
- Repeat, pushing the set eggs from the edges into the center every 30 seconds until almost set, for a total cooking time of 6 to 8 minutes.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread about 1 teaspoon of the mustard over the cut-side of each croissant bottom.
- Place a slice of ham over the bottom piece of each croissant.
- Top each with a heaping 1/2 cup of scrambled eggs and 1/4 cup of cheese.
- Place the top half of each croissant over the sandwich.
- To serve immediately: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet. Bake until the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Reheating: If not serving immediately, tightly wrap each sandwich with aluminum foil and store in resealable bags in the refrigerator or freezer. Reheat uncovered in a 325°F oven until warmed through, about 20 minutes if refrigerated, or about 30 minutes if frozen.
- Enjoy!
