A croissant is a buttery, flaky, layered French pastry in the shape of a crescent moon.
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.
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.
To make these sandwiches spicy, use hot sauce! I like Frank’s RedHot, but you can use your favorite brand.

These sandwiches make a great freezer meal. Once they have cooled, place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze overnight.

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.

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