Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound thin-sliced ham
- 8 eggs
- 4 croissants, sliced in half
- 4 slices American cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Vigorously blend eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium temperature, melt butter, and pour in egg mixture. Gently fold and scramble eggs until they reach a soft, fluffy consistency. Transfer cooked eggs to a separate plate.
- Using the same skillet, melt remaining butter and introduce brown sugar and Dijon mustard, creating a glaze-like sauce. Add ham slices and warm them through, coating with the sugary mustard mixture.
- Split croissants horizontally and layer ingredients strategically: place American cheese on bottom half, spread scrambled eggs evenly, arrange glazed ham slices on top, sprinkle shredded cheese for extra richness, and crown with croissant’s top half.
- Present the sandwiches immediately while ingredients are warm and cheese remains melty, ensuring optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to create fluffy, uniform scrambled eggs with a creamy texture that melts in your mouth.
- Cook ham in butter, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to develop a sweet and tangy glaze that elevates the sandwich’s flavor profile.
- Let cheese sit at room temperature before assembling to ensure it melts more evenly and creates a gooey, delicious layer.
- Prepare components separately and assemble just before serving to maintain croissant’s crisp texture and prevent sogginess.
