Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large bakery-style croissants
- 12 slices deli-style honey ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese (or Gruyère)
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small rimmed baking sheet (about 9×13 inches) with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are just set and no longer liquid. Remove the eggs from the oven and let them cool slightly, then cut the egg sheet into 6 equal rectangles.
- While the eggs bake, use a serrated knife to slice each croissant in half lengthwise. Place the bottom halves of the croissants onto a large baking sheet. Layer each bottom with two slices of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese. Place one of your baked egg rectangles on top of the cheese. Finally, place the top half of the croissant over the egg to close the sandwich.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and dried parsley. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the tops of the croissants with the honey-butter mixture. This glaze adds a beautiful golden color and a hit of savory-sweet flavor that elevates the entire sandwich.
- Place the entire sheet pan of assembled sandwiches back into the oven. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and the croissant tops are crisp and golden brown. Watch them closely during the last few minutes, as croissants can burn quickly due to their high butter content.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the sandwiches rest for two minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly so the fillings don’t slide out. Serve warm alongside fresh fruit or a hot cup of coffee for the perfect morning meal.
