Print Recipe

A rich and flaky breakfast casserole featuring buttery croissants, eggs, cheese, and savory breakfast sausage baked to golden perfection. Perfect for a family brunch or holiday morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
  3. Layer half of the torn croissant pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the croissants.
  5. Add the remaining croissant pieces on top, followed by the remaining sausage and cheese.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, pressing down gently to soak the croissants.
  7. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top, if using.
  8. Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top.
  10. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, serve with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce. This casserole can be prepared the night before and refrigerated overnight for a convenient morning meal.
