Flaky croissants are filled with ham, eggs and cheese and baked until golden and melty making these Easy Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches the prefect breakfast.
Are you a sweet or savory breakfast lover? I could go either way honestly. I mean I love me a good oatmeal recipe or pancakes, or even a breakfast bake.
These Easy Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches are one of the quickest and easiest recipes you could ever think to whip up! Seriously.
I’m slightly addicted to croissants, and when you stuff them with ham, cheese, eggs and a secret sauce it really pushes the breakfast game over the top.
INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:
- Croissants
- Ham
- Eggs
- Cheese
- Butter
- Brown sugar
- Mustard
So I have to admit, when I eat my eggs, I eat them scrambled with cheese and covered in syrup. I usually get two different reactions when I tell people that.
One is omg yum that sounds absolutely amazing and the other is ewe. But I’m more of the don’t knock it before you try it type of person because it is truly addicting.
So when it comes to our breakfast sandwich recipes I love adding a little sweetness to them. I created a little sauce that you brush on the inside of the croissants that is made from butter, brown sugar and mustard.
It really gives a nice little sweetness in every single bite, but doesn’t over power any of the other flavors one bit.
So like I said I’m completely addicted to croissants, I mean I really like to eat them plan right out of the container fresh from the bakery. But love using them for breakfast.
Some of my favorite breakfast recipes with croissants include:
Don’t those all sound amazing? I mean seriously, but nothing holds a candle to these Easy Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches!
HOW TO MAKE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cook eggs according to your preferred doneness, set aside.
- Slice your croissants in half, set aside.
- In small bowl heat your butter and brown sugar until sugar is dissolved, stir in your mustard.
- Brush on one side of your croissant.
- Place about 4-5 slices of ham on bottoms of each of the croissants, top with a slice of cheese and top with 1/4 of your scrambled eggs.
- Place your other half of the croissant on top and wrap in tinfoil.
- Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.
Literally this recipe couldn’t get any more simple than this. And everyone loves them. My kids ask for these all the time, and they inhale them so a lot of the time we do double the recipe since this usually only makes 4.
We like to start off with smaller batches and work our way up from there. That is why we love this Breakfast Sandwich recipe because it can easily be doubled.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Wrap in tinfoil, it helps to not dry out your croissants, but if you prefer a crispier sandwich then just place on baking sheet and bake.
- Use your favorite type of ham, we like to use honey ham as our choice.
- Use real cheese, we like a brand called Bongards and it’s not processed, using Kraft singles or the like won’t produce a really melty cheese.
- Add some cheese to your eggs to make it even more cheesier.
- Add a slice or two of bacon to kick it up a notch!
If you are looking for the perfect mean these Breakfast Sandwiches are absolutely an easy and amazing solution. Quick, easy and you won’t find someone who won’t enjoy these.

Great recipes…how long can you keep these in freezer????

These can be wrapped in plastic wrap and then foil and frozen for up to a month. Let defrost in the refrigerator until thawed. Then I would wrap in foil and bake again and bake until heated through.

I was thinking of trying something new. I don’t really like cheese so I left that out. I do however love ham and eggs, loved that. I think I put too much of the sauce. If you don’t like sweetness mixed with saltiness. Do not Over load the sauce onto your croissant. Would I try it again? Yes ,but maybe only the croissant without the sauce.Reply

I made these sandwiches as written and they are so good!! I will definitely make them again. I like making breakfast food for dinner and these are easy and fast. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!Reply

Wonderful – had these for lunch today. I didn’t have ham so I used Costco precooked bacon. I didn’t have sliced cheese, just shredded, so I took a handful and squished it to hold together, knowing the wrapping would help. Worked beautifully, and the mustard combination was subtle but added just the right touch. I’m looking at how I could take them camping and heat them with a makeshift oven over the embers of a fire.Reply

I think these would be awesome to take to work. Could I make these the night before , wrap in foil and heat in a crockpot the next morning?

Yes that should work fine!

These look fantastic. I love breakfast. And sandwiches are the easy way. Especially when you are on the run and need something quick and simple. Taking care of my mom with cancer. Been trying to make several freezer meals to make things a little easier. And these sound like the way to go. How long do you recommend freezing them to keep for future meals? Also what oven temperature do you recommend reheating them and for how long?Reply

These are excellent! Used stone ground mustard and doubled the butter! Just finished brunch and everyone raving! Thanks for sharing!Reply

Thank you so much for sharing! These are delicious. I really loved the brown sugar/ mustard sauce, it totally made the sandwich! I saw these months ago and have been dying to try them. I finally made them for breakfast this morning and they were awesome! I’m a vegetarian, but my husband isn’t, so finding easy recipes I can take the meat out of for me that still have tons of flavor is a huge win! Thank you so much!!
I think I’m going to add these to my camping menu, also. I can make them ahead and warm them in the foil over the fire 🙂Reply

Can I place sandwiches on a cookie sheet and cover with aluminum foil. I have to make twelve sandwiches
Reply

I think that should work fine, the tinfoil just helps the bread not harden and keep the heat inside so everything melts evenly.

Could I make these and freeze to reheat in the oven for camping?
Reply
Tornadough Alli
Yep! Just wrap individually in plastic wrap and reheat in microwave (if you have one camping) for about 1-2 minutes.
