Easy baked egg breakfast sandwiches. Another frugal recipe that can be made ahead and frozen, then microwaved for fast breakfasts on the run. Try using other cheeses for extra flavor. I used Colby-Jack Slices. My boys loved this recipe!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 12 eggs, beaten

  • ¼ cup softened butter

  • 6 croissants, split

  • 12 slices smoked ham

  • 6 slices Colby-Jack cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. Pour beaten eggs into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until they set and are no longer runny, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove, allow to cool, and cut into 6 portions.

  3. Butter the cut sides of croissants and place one portion of the cooked egg onto each croissant bottom. Top each sandwich with two slices of ham and a slice of Colby-Jack cheese. Place croissant tops on top of sandwiches; wrap each sandwich well with plastic wrap. Place sandwiches onto a baking sheet; freeze until solid, about 3 hours. Store frozen.

  4. To reheat, cook a wrapped sandwich in a microwave on High until hot in the center, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips

Variation: brown a pound of sausage (your favorite) and add to egg mixture prior to baking the eggs, then omit the ham.
