Description

This Easy Cheese & Chive Scrambled Egg Croissants recipe offers a delightful and hearty breakfast or brunch option. Softly scrambled eggs mixed with mature cheddar and fresh chives are served warm inside buttery croissants layered with savory ham. This simple yet flavorful dish combines creamy textures and aromatic herbs for a satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 Eggs
  • 50 grams Mature Cheddar Cheese, grated
  • 1 splash Milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Chives, chopped

For the Croissants

  • 2 Croissants
  • Butter, to taste
  • 2 slices Ham

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a jug or bowl, beat together the eggs, mature cheddar cheese, milk, and a generous pinch of salt using a fork until the mixture is well blended.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and allow it to get hot.
  3. Cook the Scrambled Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Constantly scrape the bottom and sides of the pan with a spatula to gently scramble the eggs. Cook until the eggs are softly set but still moist, about 5 to 10 minutes depending on pan size, being careful not to overcook as residual heat will finish the cooking after removing from heat.
  4. Add Fresh Chives: Once the eggs are softly scrambled, mix in the fresh chives and add extra salt if needed to taste.
  5. Prepare the Croissants: Slice the croissants in half lengthwise. Optionally, warm them in a moderate oven for a few minutes or enjoy them at room temperature.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread butter on both cut sides of each croissant half. Add the ham slices onto one side.
  7. Fill and Serve: Spoon the scrambled eggs over the ham, close the croissant sandwich, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, use full-fat milk or substitute with cream.
  • You can substitute mature cheddar with other cheeses like Gruyère or Monterey Jack for different flavor profiles.
  • If preferred, use turkey or vegetarian ham alternatives to modify the dish.
  • Warming the croissants enhances the flavor and texture but is optional if short on time.
  • Keep an eye on the eggs while scrambling to avoid overcooking which results in dry eggs.
