Description

These Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches are a delicious and indulgent morning treat featuring flaky croissants spread with a sweet and tangy Dijon honey blend, layered with cheese, deli ham, crispy bacon, and fluffy scrambled eggs. Perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch, they combine rich flavors and textures for a satisfying start to your day.


Ingredients

For the Spread:

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey

For the Sandwiches:

  • 4 large croissants
  • 8 slices 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 smooth. Set aside to use later.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 5 large eggs with a splash of milk, and season with salt and pepper according to taste.
  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 cook gently, scrambling with a spatula until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Slice the Croissants: Carefully slice each croissant in half horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through for better handling.
  5. Spread the Dijon Honey Blend: Generously spread the prepared Dijon honey mixture inside both halves of each croissant.
  6. Add Cheese: Place 2 slices of your choice of cheese on the bottom half of each croissant to create a delicious melty base.
  7. Layer the Ham and Bacon: Add several slices of deli-sliced ham followed by 2 slices of cooked bacon on top of the cheese for savory flavor and texture.
  8. Add the Scrambled Eggs: Spoon an even portion of the scrambled eggs over the ham and bacon, completing the layering of ingredients.
  9. Close the Sandwiches: Fold the croissants closed to form sandwiches, securing all the fillings inside.
  10. Toast the Sandwiches (Optional): For a crispy and golden finish with melted cheese, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  11. Serve: Garnish with fresh chives if desired, and serve the croissant breakfast sandwiches hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use your favorite cheese variety such as Gouda, baby Swiss, or cheddar to customize flavor.
  • To make ahead, prepare the ingredients in advance and toast sandwiches just before serving.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and bacon and add sautéed vegetables or avocado slices.
  • Fresh chives add a nice herbal garnish but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • The optional toasting step adds a crispy exterior and melted cheese but can be skipped if preferred.
