Cool the scrambled eggs and cooked meats slightly before assembling, and toast the croissants for extra texture.

Wrap the sandwich in foil and reheat in the oven to keep moisture in and avoid over-drying.

What meat works best?

Bacon, sausage patties, and deli ham are classic choices, but you can also use turkey or leftover roasted meats.
