Indulge in this savory sausage and cheddar croissant bake for breakfast—a perfect easy morning win with irresistible flavor and comfort.
Ingredients
- • butter croissants: 4 large, cut into 1-inch pieces
- • breakfast sausage: 1 pound, crumbled and cooked
- • sharp cheddar cheese: 2 cups, shredded
- • eggs: 6 large
- • heavy cream: 1 cup
- • whole milk: 1 cup
- • Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh chives: 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.
- 3 Scatter half of the croissant pieces in the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute half of the cooked sausage and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the croissants.
- 4 Repeat the layering with the remaining croissant pieces, sausage, and cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
- 5 Sprinkle the chopped chives over the top for a burst of fresh flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
- 6 Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm, allowing the flavors to meld and the bake to set slightly.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this decadent bake with a side of fresh fruit to balance the richness or a simple green salad for a touch of freshness. A dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce can enhance the savory elements of the dish. Pair with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of chilled orange juice to complement the meal's comforting flavors. For a more indulgent brunch, consider adding a side of crispy bacon or a refreshing mimosa. The contrasting textures and flavors will elevate your breakfast experience to a new level of satisfaction.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until heated through. For a quicker option, microwave individual portions on medium power until warm. Avoid reheating on high power to prevent overcooking the eggs and drying out the bake.
