As we know from our fan-favorite sausage and egg breakfast casserole<\/a> and sa<\/a>usage strata, bread and hash browns are delicious additions to breakfast bakes. They\u2019re easy to add and create a filling, starchy base that\u2019s delicious and satisfying. <\/p>\n

But when you want a show-stopping breakfast that feels extra special, we\u2019re here to tell you to skip the potatoes and bread and reach for croissants instead. Since croissants are already laminated with layers of butter, they soak up the dijon-infused egg custard in this breakfast bake for the most decadent bite. Combined with salty ham and gooey gruyere, the whole pan is baked until golden brown and bubbly. It looks and tastes like a gourmet meal, but it uses only 8 ingredients and takes less than 20 minutes of prep time to put together. <\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for a holiday breakfast or brunch or a go-to morning meal to serve houseguests, you can\u2019t go wrong with this cheesy, rich, and insanely satisfying croissant breakfast bake. <\/p>\n

Process<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 375\u02daF. Spray a 9\u201dx13\u201d ceramic baking dish with cooking spray.<\/li>\n
  2. In a large liquid measuring cup or bowl whisk together eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, chives, and garlic powder. Set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Scatter croissant pieces evenly around the baking dish.<\/li>\n
    2. Drape and press ham pieces in the spaces between croissant pieces.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese over the mixture.<\/li>\n
      2. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant bake and season with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Allow mixture to sit for 10 minutes, so the croissants absorb the liquid. Cover baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.<\/li>\n
        2. Remove foil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the egg mixture has cooked through and the top is browned and bubbling.<\/li>\n
          2. Remove from oven and cool, about 10 minutes. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
