Croissant Breakfast Casserole
Croissant Breakfast Casserole
This recipe came highly recommended and I will say hands down, this is an excellent casserole! This can be tailored many ways to your liking.
Ingredients
- 6 large croissants, cut in half like a hamburger bun
- 500 grams bacon, cooked crispy, broken into 1 inch pieces, (1 lb)
- 6 slices Provolone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190 C (375 F) and lightly grease the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with butter.
- Place the bottom halves of the croissants in the baking dish, top each with a slice of Provolone then top with Cheddar. (I bought the croissants I used from Tesco, excellent croissants but only 5 in a bag.) Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt.
- Add the bacon pieces to each croissant, then pour in the eggs over the bacon. Place in the oven and back for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set.
- Place the tops of the croissants on the casserole and brush each with the melted butter. Place back in the oven for another 5 minutes or until the tops are lightly toasted.
- Use a spatula and cut the casserole between the croissants, into 6 sections, serve and enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
Variants: 1. For the sliced cheese, in place of Provolone, use Gouda or Swiss. 2. Use diced ham or cooked and crumbled sausage in place of or with the bacon. 3. Add some diced bell pepper.
