Ingredients
Scale
Croissants
- 4 large croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite blend)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Croissants: Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and evenly layer them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish to form the base of the casserole.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add Cheese and Pour Mixture: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the croissants. Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the croissants to soak them thoroughly. Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- You can add cooked breakfast meats like bacon or sausage for extra flavor.
- Vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers can be added to the egg mixture or layered with the croissants.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and reduced-fat cheese.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for a convenient breakfast.
