What is a croissant?

A croissant is a buttery, flaky, layered French pastry in the shape of a crescent moon.

Can I put a different type of egg in croissant breakfast sandwiches?

Yes, you can! If you’re worried about scrambled eggs slipping out of your sandwiches, feel free to scramble the eggs and then cook them into a flat, single layer. You can also use fried eggs.

What type of ham should I put in a croissant breakfast sandwich?

You can put any kind of deli-sliced ham into your croissant sandwiches. I like maple honey ham for a touch of sweetness or smoky ham if I’m going more savory. You could also use cooked bacon or sausage patties.

How can I make croissant breakfast sandwiches spicy?

To make these sandwiches spicy, use hot sauce! I like Frank’s RedHot, but you can use your favorite brand.

Make Ahead Instructions

You can fully assemble these sandwiches up to 1 day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator and reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover fully assembled croissant breakfast sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Store components in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days. Assemble and bake in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes.

Freezing Instructions

These sandwiches make a great freezer meal. Once they have cooled, place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze overnight. Then, transfer to an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 6 weeks. To reheat from frozen, wrap 1 sandwich in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until heated through, or wrap in aluminum foil and bake in a 450°F oven for 15-20 minutes.

Sandwich Variations

These sandwiches are endlessly customizable. Try some of these swaps:

  • Bread: Use English muffins, bagels, or tortillas instead of croissants.
  • Eggs: Use fried eggs instead of scrambled, or try scrambled tofu!
  • Meat: Use cooked bacon or sausage patties in place of the ham, or try deli-sliced turkey!
  • Cheese: Use your favorite kind of cheese for a totally custom sandwich.
  • Veggies: Add lettuce, tomatoes, or spinach.
  • Spice: Add hot sauce to make them spicy!
