Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 croissants
Ingredients
- 8 croissants, split
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your croissants are baked evenly and thoroughly.
- Gather all your ingredients: 8 split croissants, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup of cooked bacon (chopped), 1/2 cup of cooked sausage (crumbled), 1/2 cup of diced ham, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the whisked eggs. Cook, stirring gently, until they are scrambled and just set. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, diced ham, and scrambled eggs. Mix well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Take each split croissant and open it gently. Spoon a generous amount of the meat and egg mixture into each croissant, being careful not to overfill them.
- Once filled, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese into each croissant on top of the filling.
- Place the filled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, you can brush the tops with a little melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the croissants are golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. If you are preparing them for the freezer, allow them to cool completely.
- To freeze, wrap each croissant tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label the bag with the date and type of filling.
- To reheat from frozen, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unwrap the croissant and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and the croissant is crispy.
Tips
- For the best texture, use fresh, high-quality croissants that are slightly firm.
- Cook meats thoroughly before mixing to ensure food safety and maximum flavor.
- Don't overfill croissants - leave a little room for cheese to melt.
- Use parchment paper when baking to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- When freezing, wrap each croissant individually to prevent freezer burn.
- For best reheating results, avoid microwaving - always use the oven to maintain croissant crispiness.
- Label your freezer bags with the date and contents to keep track of your meal prep.
- These croissants can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month for optimal taste and quality.
