8 large eggs

3 tablespoons oil for frying

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Crack all eggs into the skillet, breaking the yolks immediately for even cooking.

Reduce heat to medium-low and sprinkle eggs with pepper. Cook thoroughly, flipping once, until eggs are cooked through and no longer runny.

Place 1 slice of ham (or half a slice of bacon if using) on the bottom half of each toasted croissant. Top with a cooked egg and a slice of American cheese.
05 -
Top with the other croissant half and microwave each sandwich for 15 seconds to melt the cheese. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
# Notes:

For extra flavor, brush croissant tops with sweet mustard sauce before broiling (mix 4 tbsp melted butter, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tsp yellow mustard)
