Creating a Savory Croissant Breakfast Casserole is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Croissants: Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in the greased baking dish.
3. Cook the Meat: If using sausage, bacon, or ham, cook it according to package directions and crumble it. Distribute it evenly over the croissant pieces.
4. Mix Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheese to the egg mixture, reserving a little for topping.
6. Combine: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant and meat layers in the baking dish. Gently press down to ensure everything is coated.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top for an extra cheesy finish.
8. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set.
9. Cool: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
10. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, before serving.
