Recipe | Ham & Cheese Croissant Bake

 

With Easter approaching soon, I thought I would share an easy breakfast bake that can be assembled in advanced, and easily baked after returning from Easter Sunday morning worship service.

Ham & Cheese Croissant Bake

Ingredients:

6  Large bakery croissants

8  ounces of sliced ham or prosciutto

4  eggs, room temperature

1/4  cup heavy cream

3/4  cup whole milk

1/2  teaspoon salt

1  Tablespoon Maille Dijon mustard

1  cup shredded gruyere cheese

Confectioner's sugar for dusting, optional

Method:

 

Butter a 9x13 baking dish.

Tear croissants in to medium sized pieces and arrange in baking dish.

Cut ham in to approximately 1 inch square pieces and arrange between croissant pieces.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top evenly.

In a mixing bowl whisk together eggs, cream, milk, Dijon, and salt.

Pour over top of croissant/ham/cheese.

Cover with foil.  

Let mixture set for at least an hour before baking.

**This can be refrigerated over night.

Preheat oven to 350*F

Bake covered for 20-25 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 until cheese is melted and light golden brown.

Let rest for 5 minutes.

Optional:  Sprinkle Confectioner's sugar and serve.
