Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Ham and Cheese Croissant Bake, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large croissants, preferably day-old
- 8 ounces sliced ham
- 8 ounces sliced Swiss cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Slice the croissants in half lengthwise and layer half of them in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Top with half of the sliced ham and half of the Swiss cheese.
- Repeat with the remaining croissants, ham, and cheese.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered croissants, ham, and cheese.
- Press down gently on the croissants to ensure they soak up the egg mixture.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for added flavor and color.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the egg is set.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding sautéed spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies.
- You can also substitute the Swiss cheese with cheddar or provolone for a different flavor profile.
