How to Make Freezer Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
Step 1: Scramble the Eggs
1️⃣ Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2️⃣ Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they start to set.
3️⃣ Add half and half, season with salt and pepper, and continue cooking until thick and creamy (about 3–5 minutes). Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Assemble the Sandwiches
4️⃣ Place a half slice of cheddar on the bottom half of each croissant.
5️⃣ Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs on top, then place the croissant top over it.
Step 3: Wrap & Freeze
6️⃣ Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
Step 4: Reheat & Serve
7️⃣ When ready to eat, unwrap the sandwich, wrap it in a paper towel, and microwave for 1–2 minutes until hot.
8️⃣ For a crispier texture, reheat in an air fryer or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes after microwaving.
