Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large croissants, torn into pieces
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

  2. Layer the torn croissant pieces evenly in a greased baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon or sausage, cheese, and green onions over the croissant layer.
  4. Gently pour the egg mixture evenly over the top, ensuring all croissant pieces are well-coated.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours).
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Remove the casserole from the fridge, uncover it, and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.

Notes

Serve with mixed fruit or a green salad for balance. For added flavor, drizzle with hot sauce or sour cream. Use day-old croissants for best results.
