Creating the perfect Croissant Breakfast Casserole is easy when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for baking.
2. Prepare Croissants: Cut the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them in a greased casserole dish.
3. Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard until combined.
4. Add Meat and Veggies: Fold in the cooked sausage or bacon, along with bell peppers and onions if using.

6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the egg mixture.
