Ingredients
Scale
Spread
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon honey
Sandwich
- 4 large fresh croissants
- 1 cup cheese (gouda, baby swiss, or cheddar), sliced or shredded
- 8 ounces deli-sliced ham
- 6 slices cooked bacon
Scrambled Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 1 splash milk (about 1 tablespoon)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking eggs)
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, softened salted butter, and honey. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a tangy and sweet spread for the croissants.
- Slice the croissants: Cut each croissant in half lengthwise to create a pocket to hold the fillings.
- Spread the mixture: Generously apply the Dijon-honey butter spread on the inside halves of each croissant, ensuring even coverage to enhance flavor.
- Add the fillings: Layer cheese, deli-sliced ham, and cooked bacon evenly inside each croissant half, building a hearty base for the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, a splash of milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined to create fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Cook the scrambled eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir continuously until the eggs are just set but still creamy.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spoon the scrambled eggs carefully into each prepared croissant, packing them generously with the warm eggs.
- Garnish and serve: If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped chives on top of the eggs for a fresh, mild onion flavor and a pop of color. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use fresh croissants for the best texture and flavor.
- Cheese options can be swapped according to preference; smoky gouda pairs well with ham and bacon.
- Cook bacon ahead of time to save preparation time in the morning.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
- Serve with fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete breakfast.
