• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice leek. • In large frying pan, heat a drizzle over olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook leek, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add the butter and plain flour and cook, stirring, until a thick paste forms, 2 minutes. • Slowly whisk in cream until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir through grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Cut croissant in half horizontally. Place croissant bases on a lined oven tray. • Top with creamy leek sauce and prosciutto. • Spread croissant tops evenly with Dijon mustard. Replace tops and gently press to seal. • Sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake until browned and cheese has melted, 10-12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wipe out and return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, crack the eggs into the pan. Cook until egg whites are firm and yolks are cooked to your liking, 4-5 minutes.
