How To Serve Stuffed Ham and Cheese Croissant Casserole
Perfect for Christmas or Easter morning when you have a houseful of people. Just assemble it the night before and pop it in the oven 45 minutes before you are ready to eat. Also great for using up leftover Easter‚ Thanksgiving‚ or Christmas ham. Serve with fruit salad and a bowl full of Crock Pot Grits.
Breakfast Casseroles
I love a good breakfast casserole. This one is very similar to this Ham and Cheese Croissant Casserole except it’s made from mini ham croissants
Mini Croissants
You’ll need about 10 mini croissants for this recipe. Cut each one in half and make 10 mini ham and swiss sandwiches. Place them in a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour a mixture of eggs‚ half-and-half‚ and heavy cream over them.
Type of Ham To Use
You can use deli ham for this recipe or you can use leftover Easter‚ Thanksgiving‚ or Christmas ham. Use as much or as little ham as you like.
Recipe Tip
You’ll need to cover the pan with foil about halfway through the cooking time so the tops of the croissants don’t get too brown.
Lighten it up by using milk instead of half-and-half.
Make It Spicy
If you want to make this casserole spicy‚ add half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
Storage
Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
