  • Eggs: Fresh, high-quality eggs produce the best color and taste.
  • Ham and bacon: Using both adds complementary smoky flavors and varied textures.
  • Cheese: Choose good melting varieties like havarti, gouda or sharp cheddar.
  • Honey-mustard spread: This signature spread elevates the flavor profile significantly.

Preparation Method

Initial Preparation

Carefully slice croissants horizontally using a serrated knife. Apply generous honey-mustard-butter spread to both cut surfaces.

Assembly

Layer cheese first, followed by meats, then additional cheese. This creates a protective barrier and ensures proper melting.

Baking Process

Bake assembled sandwiches without eggs initially. This ensures proper melting and ideal croissant texture. Prepare eggs separately, cooking until just set.

Final Steps

Add warm scrambled eggs to the hot sandwiches. Garnish with fresh chives if desired.

Through careful recipe development and testing, these sandwiches have been perfected to deliver restaurant-quality results at a fraction of the cost. The preparation method ensures consistent success.

Serving Recommendations

Fresh fruit provides a light complement to the rich sandwiches. For entertaining, offer a mimosa selection or create a build-your-own sandwich station. The sandwiches pair particularly well with spicy Bloody Marys.

Variations

Create vegetarian versions with sautéed vegetables. Mediterranean-style with roasted peppers and feta offers an interesting twist. Add avocado after baking for fresh creaminess. A dash of hot sauce cuts through the richness effectively.

Preparation Tips

Assemble ingredients ahead, excluding eggs, for efficient morning preparation. Reheat leftovers in an air fryer for optimal texture. Establish an assembly line when cooking for groups.

Expert Techniques

  • Slightly undercook scrambled eggs to prevent dryness
  • Allow croissants to reach room temperature before cutting
  • Use buttered knife for clean croissant slicing

While many breakfast sandwiches are serviceable, croissant-based versions offer superior texture and flavor. The delicate, flaky layers and rich butter content create an elevated breakfast experience suitable for both special occasions and casual weekend mornings.

Yield: 4 Servings (4 sandwiches)

Ingredients

→ For the Spread

01 2 tablespoons of salted butter
02 2 tablespoons of dijon mustard
03 2 tablespoons of honey

→ For the Sandwiches

04 4 big croissants
05 8 pieces of cooked bacon
06 1/2 pound of ham, sliced from the deli
07 8 slices of cheese (like baby swiss, cheddar, gouda, etc.)

→ For the Eggs

08 5 large eggs
09 A splash of milk
10 Salt and pepper to taste
11 1 tablespoon of butter
12 Optional: fresh chives for topping

Instructions

Step 01

Set your oven to 350°F and let it heat up.

Step 02

In a tiny bowl, mix together the mustard, butter, and honey. Microwave it for about 20 seconds so the butter melts, and then stir until smooth.

Step 03

Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut the croissants in half horizontally. Spread the honey dijon mixture evenly across the inside surfaces.

Step 04

On the bottom half of each croissant, layer a slice of cheese, followed by deli ham, bacon, and one more slice of cheese. Place the croissant tops back on and arrange them on a baking sheet.

Step 05

Pop them in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the cheese is gooey and the croissants are golden.

Step 06

While baking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Warm up some butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat and gently cook the eggs, stirring, until softly scrambled. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 07

Take the croissants out of the oven. Add a portion of scrambled eggs to each sandwich. Sprinkle with fresh chives if you’re feeling fancy before serving.

Notes

  1. You can make these ahead of time and keep them in the fridge overnight.
  2. These freeze really well for up to a month.
  3. Perfect if you’re planning meals for the whole week.
