Instructions
Creating your Ham & Cheese Croissant Casserole is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Croissants: Cut the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place half of them in the prepared baking dish.
3. Layer with Ham and Cheese: Sprinkle half of the diced ham and cheese over the croissant pieces.
4. Add Remaining Croissants: Add the remaining croissant pieces on top and then layer with the rest of the ham and cheese.
5. Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
6. Pour Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant layers in the baking dish, ensuring everything is soaked.
7. Let it Sit: Allow the casserole to sit for about 15-20 minutes, giving the croissants time to absorb the egg mixture.
8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and fluffy.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
10. Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving to enhance the visual appeal.
By following these steps, you’ll create a savory dish that combines the best of both worlds: comfort and flavor!
