Fluffy scrambled eggs, savory deli ham, and melty Swiss cheese make the filling for this croissant breakfast sandwich utterly scrumptious! With just 5 ingredients, it’s so easy to throw together a big batch and freeze it for an easy breakfast on my busiest days. This is the kind of food that really gets me up in the morning!
What’s in This Croissant Breakfast Sandwich Recipe?
- Butter: Unsalted butter helps the eggs cook without burning and adds richness to them.
- Eggs: I like scrambled eggs, but you can also fry them!
- Croissants: Store-bought croissants make this recipe easy, but you can also use homemade if you prefer.
- Ham: You can put any kind of deli-sliced ham into your croissant sandwiches. I like maple honey ham for a touch of sweetness or smoky ham if I’m going more savory. You could also use cooked bacon or sausage patties.
- Cheese: I like baby Swiss cheese, but feel free to use your favorite!
Tips for Success
- To help the eggs stick together, press the scramble into a patty-like shape in the pan for the last few minutes of cooking.
- Try adding lettuce, tomatoes, or spinach for a little roughage.
- To make these sandwiches spicy, use hot sauce! I like Frank’s RedHot, but you can use your favorite brand.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover fully assembled croissant breakfast sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day or in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. To reheat from frozen, wrap 1 sandwich in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until heated through, or wrap in aluminum foil and bake in a 450°F oven for 15-20 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
In my opinion, a croissant breakfast sandwich is the perfect grab-and-go breakfast. I like to take mine to school dropoff with an iced caramel latte, but really, any kind of caffeine goes perfectly with this sandwich.
