A delicious and easy-to-make Croissant Bake combining flaky croissants with savory eggs, cheese, and ham for a perfect breakfast or brunch dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large croissants, sliced in half
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Arrange the croissant halves cut-side up in the baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions evenly over the croissants.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the croissants, pressing down slightly so croissants soak up the mixture.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden and egg is set.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach. This bake is great served with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.
