Ham and Cheese Croissant Breakfast Bake

I’ll be honest, it’s hard for me to get excited about making breakfast. Most days I fall into the quick fix category. Cereal, oatmeal, granola bar. Something that doesn’t need much cook time, and even less effort. When I do put thought into my breakfast, I usually rely heavily on breakfast casseroles that I can assemble the night before, and pop in the oven before going to church or finishing getting ready for the day. This Ham and Cheese Croissant Breakfast Bake has quickly risen to the top of some of my favorite morning casseroles.

The base of this breakfast bake is my favorite mini croissants I am always picking up at Walmart.

These croissants are perfect for sandwiches or chicken salad, but they are even better as part of this casserole.

The night before I plan on making this for breakfast, I cut open the croissant and then fill with a couple slices of deli ham and a half slice of American cheese.

Then all you have to do is arrange the filled croissants into a baking dish.

Beat together eggs, heavy cream, and a touch of yellow mustard for flavoring.

Pour the egg mixture over the croissants in the dish, cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, take the pan out of the refrigerator, uncover and bake until the eggs are set and the croissants are golden brown.

Cut and enjoy your very own, homemade ham and cheese croissan’wich!
