Print Recipe

This Croissant Breakfast Casserole combines flaky croissants with savory eggs, cheese, and sausage for a delicious and hearty morning meal that’s perfect for family brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
  3. Scatter the torn croissant pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Distribute the cooked sausage, diced onions, and bell peppers evenly over the croissants.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissants and toppings, pressing down gently to ensure the croissants absorb the liquid.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly on top.
  7. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  9. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For an extra fresh touch, garnish with chopped chives or parsley before serving. This casserole also pairs well with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.
