About this Recipe
To make this sandwich bake recipe work in an oven, there’s a flavorful egg mixture. Once you’ve put together all the sandwich layers, you pour eggs, sour cream, milk, salt and pepper over the the top. The egg mixture helps the ingredients to all bake together and makes the whole dish more creamy. It’s similar to what mayonnaise would typically do in a sandwich. Thanks to the cheese, sour cream, and milk, the sandwich bake comes out moist and creamy, but the crust of the bread and bacon will still be wonderfully crispy.
How to Store
- Serve: After you’ve baked this delicious sandwich bake, you shouldn’t leave it at room temperature for more than two hours.
- Store: Let your bake cool to room temperature, then store it in the fridge. Carefully covered or put in an airtight container, this dish will keep well for up to a week.
- Freeze: You can keep this recipe in the freezer for up to 3 months. Make sure to let it cool, then seal it in an airtight container.
Variations
- Meat: This easy sandwich bake has 3 different kinds of meat in it. However, if you’d prefer not to use all three you can just use more of the others. For example, if you don’t want turkey just use extra ham. You can also try using chicken breast in place of turkey, or use turkey bacon to replace the regular bacon.
- Cheese: Just like with the meat, you can experiment with the kind of cheese you use in your sandwich bake. Instead of cheddar, try using Swiss, provolone, muenster, or Jack cheese.
- Bread: If you don’t have croissants, try making the recipe with French bread, sourdough, whole wheat, white bread, or any bread you usually make sandwiches with.
- Flavor mix-ins: There are a variety of flavors you can add to the egg mixture. Try mixing in some mustard, lemon, or honey with the egg mixture. You could also add some herbs like dill, basil, or parsley.
- Toppings: Once you’ve baked your croissant sandwiches top it with any crisp veggies you usually have in your sandwich. Some great options are fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, onion, and peppers.

Hi Sabrina. I only have 8×8 and 9×13 pan options. I’m trying to do this for at least 10 (or 12). Is the main thing to have the croissants touching? If a 9×13 I’d probably have to do sideways in 3 rows of 2, or do in two 8×8 pans and with 2 or 3 in each pan. Sorry if thats a dumb question. Thanks. Denise
Not dumb at all Denise! You’ve got this. How did they turn out?
Turned out great. But I wonder if I should have used the mini-croissants available at the grocery? I think there were too many gaps using the large 9×13 pan so perhaps looked a little bit sparse when plated compared to what it could have looked like. But regardless, as far as taste – OMG – everyone LOVED them. Thank you so much for a terrific recipe. This will definitely be in crowd rotation for sure! Thank you. Denise
You’re very welcome and thanks for the five star review Denise!
Can you prep this make this ahead, and chill overnight like you do a strata? Then bake in the morning?
Wow I had never heard of something like this, but it looks absolutely delicious! I’m going to bring this to my next potluck
Enjoy!
This was such an easy and delicious breakfast; the perfect breakfast for a big group.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Lily.
Oh, man..I’m in trouble! This is my kind of sandwich.warm, cheesy, & full of meat!
It’s so good, right?! Enjoy!!
Ok, this is taking a club sandwich to a whole new level! The croissant is so buttery & baking it, makes it just melt in your mouth!
Thanks for the 5 stars, Natalie.
I’m thinking breakfast sandwich thoughts and wondering if you could substitute barely scrambled eggs for the ham or bacon? They would continue to firm up in the baking I would think. Hmmmm… first, this gets a try as written because it certainly looks delicious.
I havne’t tested it but that might work too. If you decide to try, I’d love to know how it turns out.
