Ingredients

  • 2 bakery-fresh croissants
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices black forest ham sliced
  • mayonnaise to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook eggs over-easy (if you don't like runny yolks, break them while they are cooking).
    Two cooked eggs in skillet.
  • Place cheese over eggs.

  • In the same pan heat up ham slices until they become nice and hot. Place hot ham over the cheese to help the cheese melt.

  • Slice croissants in half and spread a little mayonnaise on each side. Place equal portions of the egg/ham on each croissant bottom. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add croissant tops.

  • Serve immediately. They are the best when they are piping hot.

Notes

  • Make these sandwiches ahead of time, wrap tightly with aluminum foil, and send them with your kids in their lunchboxes to school. Best lunch sandwich ever!
  • It is easier to use a rubber spatula to flip the eggs in a large skillet. This gives a little bit of bounce and movement without having to break the yolk when flipping.
  • Spreading a thin layer of mayo on the croissant helps keep all the ingredients in place and adds a little moisture to the sandwich. Feel free to try out other sauces too, like mustard, hot sauce, or even grape jelly for a sweet/savory flavor.
