Ingredients
Scale
For the Spread:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
For the Sandwiches:
- 4 large croissants
- 8 slices of cheese (Gouda, baby Swiss, cheddar, or your favorite)
- ½ pound deli-sliced ham
- 8 slices cooked bacon
For the Eggs:
- 5 large eggs
- Splash of milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Dijon Honey Spread: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, salted butter, and honey until completely smooth. Set this flavorful spread aside for later use.
- Prepare the Eggs: Crack the 5 large eggs into a bowl. Add a splash of milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk together until well combined to prepare for scrambling.
- Cook the Scrambled Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble the eggs with a spatula, cooking until they are softly set but still moist. Remove the eggs from heat and set aside.
- Slice the Croissants: Carefully slice each croissant horizontally, making sure not to cut all the way through, creating a hinge for the sandwich.
- Spread the Dijon Honey Spread: Generously spread the prepared Dijon honey mixture on the inside of each croissant.
- Add Cheese: Place 2 slices of your chosen cheese onto the bottom half of each croissant to create a melty base layer.
- Add Ham and Bacon: Layer a few slices of deli-sliced ham and 2 slices of cooked bacon over the cheese for a rich, savory taste.
- Add Scrambled Eggs: Spoon a portion of the fluffy scrambled eggs on top of the ham and bacon layer.
- Close the Sandwiches: Carefully close the croissants to enclose all the fillings, forming the sandwiches.
- Toast the Sandwiches (Optional): For a crispy, golden finish, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the croissants are toasted and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh chives if desired, and serve the croissant breakfast sandwiches warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- You can customize the cheese type to your preference, such as Gouda, baby Swiss, or cheddar.
- For extra richness, add more butter when toasting the sandwiches.
- Fresh chives add a nice touch of color and mild onion flavor but are optional.
- Use day-old croissants for easier slicing and sturdier sandwiches.
- Make sure not to overcook the eggs to keep them soft and creamy.
