Instructions

1. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
2. Heat butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and scramble gently until just set but still glossy. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.
3. Cook sausage patties or bacon according to package directions until fully cooked. Drain on paper towels and let cool completely.
4. Slice croissants in half horizontally. Place bottom halves on your work surface.
5. Layer each croissant bottom with one slice of cheese, one sausage patty or bacon strips, and a portion of scrambled eggs.
6. Place croissant tops on each sandwich and press down gently to compact.
7. Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper first, then wrap in aluminum foil. Label with date.
8. Place wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
9. To reheat from frozen: Microwave wrapped in damp paper towel on 50% power for 90 seconds, flip, then 60-90 seconds more. Or bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

Store wrapped sandwiches in freezer for up to 3 months. Can substitute any breakfast meat or cheese. For crispier croissants, remove parchment during last 5 minutes of oven reheating. Sandwiches can be refrigerated for up to 3 days instead of frozen.
