Loading...The flavors of a Croque Madame; Gruyere cheese, ham, mustard and egg, sandwiched between a buttery, flaky croissant. Breakfast made easy!
Ingredients
- 2 Store-bought Croissants
- Whole Grain or Dijon Mustard
- 6 Pieces of Deli Sliced Ham (3 per sandwich)
- 1 cup Grated Gruyere Cheese (1/2 cup per sandwich)
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- Kosher Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 Scallion, thinly sliced (only the green parts)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Position an oven rack in the middle position.
Use a serrated knife to slice each croissant in half, horizontally. Then, spoon mustard on the bottom half of the croissant.
Add three slices of deli ham on top of the mustard. Fold each slice in thirds to create texture and loft.
Then, pile 1/2 cup of grated Gruyere on top of the ham.
Place in the oven, on the middle rack.
In a nonstick egg pan or skillet, heat butter over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted, crack in two eggs.
Let the eggs cook over medium-low. Gently tilt the pan to get more of the whites to come into contact with the pan.
When the whites around the yolk are mostly set, cover the pan and reduce the heat to low.
Pull the croissant tops from the sheet tray and set them on a plate.
Now, turn the oven to broil to fully melt the cheese – keep the pan on the middle rack.
As soon as the cheese is fully melted, pull the sheet tray and turn the heat off under the eggs.
Season the eggs with Kosher salt and black pepper.
Place the bottom half (croissant, ham and cheese) on a plate. Use a silicone spatula to transfer an egg on top of the cheese.
Thinly slice the green parts of a scallion and sprinkle the slices over the egg.
Top with the croissant top.
