Campfire Croissant Sandwiches

These warm, flaky croissant sandwiches are perfect for a cozy campsite breakfast or lunch. They’re easy to customize with your favorite fillings and can be cooked over a campfire or grill.

Ingredients (Makes 4 sandwiches):

  • 4 croissants (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 slices of ham, turkey, or bacon
  • 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or provolone)
  • 4 eggs (optional)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for toasting)
  • Mustard, mayonnaise, or other condiments (optional)
  • Aluminum foil

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sandwiches:
    • Slice the croissants in half.
    • Add a slice of cheese and your choice of meat.
    • If using eggs, scramble or fry them in a pan over the fire and place them inside the croissant.
    • Add any condiments you like.
  2. Wrap for the Fire:
    • Close the croissants and spread a little butter on the outside.
    • Wrap each sandwich tightly in aluminum foil.
  3. Cooking Over the Fire:
    • Place the wrapped sandwiches on a grill grate over the fire or directly on hot embers.
    • Heat for 5–10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the croissant is warm and crispy.
  4. Serve & Enjoy:
    • Carefully unwrap the sandwiches and let them cool slightly before eating.
    • Pair with campfire coffee or hot cocoa for a perfect campsite meal!

Customization Ideas:

  • Sweet Version: Spread croissants with Nutella, peanut butter, or fruit preserves and add sliced bananas or strawberries before toasting.
  • Savory Upgrade: Add sautéed onions, peppers, or spinach for extra flavor.
  • Breakfast Boost: Swap the meat for sausage or smoked salmon.
