an easy make & bake breakfast casserole with amazing depth of flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 8 green onions, sliced
  • 1 pack mini croissants, torn (about 12 oz)
  • cooking spray
  • 2c milk
  • 1c heavy cream
  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 oz shredded gruyere cheese*
alllllll the croissants

• Cook sausage through until browned & crumbled (about 10 minutes

• Toss together Sausage, Parmesan , Salt, Onion, & torn Croissants

• arrange in 13”x9” baking dish coated in cooking spray

• Whisk together milk, cream & eggs & pour over sausage/croissant mix. Top with Gruyere cheese or swiss*

• Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes, allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Tips & Tricks!
  • You can make this more or less egg-y by using less milk/more egg. I find the milk helps if you are going to be reheating it by keeping it less dry/crumbly.
  • If you can find Gruyere great, if not swiss or another preferred cheese for browning works just as well.
  • You can allow this to sit, uncooked, overnight (about 8 hours) before cooking and it is great. It gives the egg time to soak through without making the bread too soft.
  • Like everything- I find this is best when topped with fresh ground pepper and green onion
