Perfect for a hearty and flavorful breakfast or brunch, these sandwiches offer a delightful mix of textures and flavors that are easy to prepare and sure to satisfy.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Slice the Croissants: Carefully slice each croissant horizontally, making sure not to cut all the way through, creating a hinge for the sandwich.
  5. Spread the Dijon Honey Spread: Generously spread the prepared Dijon honey mixture on the inside of each croissant.
  6. Add Cheese: Place 2 slices of your chosen cheese onto the bottom half of each croissant to create a melty base layer.
  7. 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.
  8. Add Scrambled Eggs: Spoon a portion of the fluffy scrambled eggs on top of the ham and bacon layer.
  9. Close the Sandwiches: Carefully close the croissants to enclose all the fillings, forming the sandwiches.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
