How to Make Breakfast Croissant Sandwich
- Each croissant should be cut in half. Place the bottom half of the croissants in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Place a piece of cheese and a slice of ham on each croissant.
- In a mixing dish, combine the milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Heat a greased pan over medium-high heat using this mixture.
- Stir the egg mixture gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Cook for a couple of minutes.
- When the eggs are nearly done, add the shredded mozzarella cheese and stir until melted, then continue to cook until the eggs are scrambled and moist. Turn off the heat in the skillet.
- On top of the ham and cheese, place a generous scoop of scrambled eggs. Place the second half of the croissants on top.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese is melted and the croissants are toasted, at 350°F.
- Allow the croissants to cool fully before covering each sandwich in plastic wrap to freeze. Microwave the croissant sandwich for 1 minute, or until cooked thoroughly, on a piece of paper towel.
Tips and Tricks
- Allow these breakfast sandwiches to cool to room temperature before wrapping them separately in plastic wrap if cooking ahead of time. Remove the extra air and place them in a freezer-safe container or a big resealable freezer bag.
- The sandwiches will keep in the freezer for up to a month.

FAQs
How do you keep frozen breakfast sandwiches from getting soggy?
How can you avoid mushy frozen breakfast sandwiches? Wrap each frozen breakfast sandwich separately in parchment paper or aluminum foil before putting them in a freezer bag to keep them fresh and crispy. This will help prevent freezer burn and moisture damage to the bread.
How long will homemade breakfast sandwiches last in the freezer?
Wrap each sandwich in tinfoil, wax paper, or parchment paper before placing it in a freezer-safe resealable bag. Keep frozen for up to a month.
Can you freeze a ham and cheese croissant?
You certainly can. Allow the croissants to cool fully before wrapping them securely in plastic wrap and freezing them in an airtight container or Ziploc bag. Baked ham and cheese croissants may be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
How do you reheat frozen breakfast croissants?
Place in the freezer wrapped securely with plastic wrap. Remove the plastic wrap from the frozen sandwich and wrap it in a paper towel to reheat. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until entirely cooked through.
What sandwich ingredients should not be frozen?
Sandwich fillings that do not freeze well include the following:
Hard-cooked egg whites (frozen makes them tougher).
Jam or jelly (which soaks into the bread and makes it mushy).
Tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, onions, and other vegetables get limp when thawed; add them to thawed sandwiches shortly before eating.
Should frozen breakfast sandwiches be in aluminum foil or a plastic bag?
Sandwiches must be covered in aluminum foil (no freezer paper or plastic wrap allowed). On a baking sheet, place frozen wrapped sandwiches. Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove the foil, gently lay the sandwiches back on the baking sheet, and bake for another 10 minutes uncovered.
Can you make sandwiches in advance and freeze them?
Sandwiches made ahead of time and frozen may save money and time. Except for mayonnaise-based sandwiches (such as chopped meat or egg salad), almost every sandwich may be frozen. When ready to use, add condiments such as mayonnaise.
Do egg sandwiches freeze well?
Allow each egg sandwich to cool for 20 minutes before wrapping in foil. Return the covered sandwiches to the baking sheet and freeze until firm. Sandwiches should be stored in a big plastic zip-top bag or similar freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to three months.
Can I freeze homemade egg Mcmuffin?
What I like most about these Homemade Egg McMuffins is that they’re the ideal egg breakfast sandwich to prepare ahead of time and freeze for quick breakfasts on the move. You may create a large batch of egg and cheese sandwiches your way…with bacon, without bacon, or even with a sausage patty.
Why can’t you freeze croissants?
Because croissant dough is more vulnerable to infection than baked croissants, this will reduce the risk of contamination. Croissant dough, like baked croissants, should never be frozen, defrosted, and re-frozen. This will destroy their texture and flavor.
