Instructions
-
Prepare the Croissants:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using slightly day-old croissants, warm them in the oven for a few minutes to refresh them.
- Carefully slice croissants horizontally, leaving them attached at the back.
-
Cook the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper.
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- If using, spread Dijon mustard or mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the croissants.
- Layer each croissant with salami, scrambled eggs, and cheese.
- Place the croissant tops back on.
-
Warm the Sandwiches:
- Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the croissants are warmed through.
-
Garnish & Serve:
- Sprinkle with chopped chives, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can wrap leftovers in foil and reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
- Make it Spicy: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or spicy mayo.
- Protein Boost: Swap salami for turkey, ham, or smoked salmon.
