Description

Enjoy a delicious Overnight Croissant Breakfast Casserole. Prepare it the night before for a simple and satisfying morning meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large croissants, cut into pieces
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the croissant pieces evenly in the dish.
  2. Sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheese over the croissants.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the croissant, sausage, and cheese layers, pressing down gently to ensure the croissants soak up the liquid.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature while the oven heats. Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  7. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use your favorite type of breakfast sausage.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
  • Ensure the croissants are well soaked in the egg mixture.
