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
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the croissant pieces evenly in the dish.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheese over the croissants.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the croissant, sausage, and cheese layers, pressing down gently to ensure the croissants soak up the liquid.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
- 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.
- 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.
