Ingredients
Scale
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
- Make the Dijon Honey Spread: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, salted butter, and honey until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, a splash of milk, salt, and pepper until combined.
- 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 with a spatula until just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Slice the Croissants: Carefully slice the croissants horizontally, but do not cut all the way through to keep them hinged.
- Spread the Dijon Honey Mixture: Generously spread the prepared Dijon honey spread on the inside of each croissant.
- Add Cheese: Place 2 slices of your chosen cheese on the bottom half of each croissant.
- Add Ham and Bacon: Layer a few slices of deli-sliced ham and 2 slices of cooked bacon on top of the cheese.
- Add Scrambled Eggs: Spoon a portion of the fluffy scrambled eggs over the ham and bacon layers.
- Close the Sandwich: Fold the croissants closed to form sandwiches.
- Optional Toasting: For a crispy finish, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled croissant sandwiches in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until the croissants are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh chives if desired and serve the croissant breakfast sandwiches hot.
Notes
- You can customize the cheese type based on your preference; Gouda, baby Swiss, or cheddar all work well.
- For extra flavor, consider adding sautéed onions or bell peppers to the scrambled eggs.
- The toasting step is optional but adds a wonderful crispy texture and melts the cheese beautifully.
- Use fresh croissants for best taste and texture.
- Prepare the Dijon honey spread ahead of time to save prep time in the morning.
