Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 large croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Croissants: Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in a greased baking dish.
  2. Mix Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant pieces in the baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  4. Soak: Allow the croissants to soak in the egg mixture for about 10-15 minutes, so they absorb the custard thoroughly.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the egg custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving warm for a delicious breakfast or brunch dish.

Notes

  • You can add cooked bacon, sausage, or vegetables for additional flavor and heartiness.
  • Use any cheese you prefer, such as mozzarella, Swiss, or a cheese blend.
  • For a richer dish, substitute half the milk with cream.
  • This dish can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
