This irresistible ham and cheese croissant bake combines flaky croissants, smoky ham, and gooey melted cheese into a decadent brunch dish that’s easy to prepare and perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large day-old croissants
  • 8 ounces sliced deli ham
  • 2 cups shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Slice the croissants into halves or thirds and arrange them evenly in the baking dish.
  3. Layer slices of ham on top of the croissants, tucking them between layers for even distribution.
  4. Scatter shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese over the ham and croissants.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Slowly pour the custard mixture over the croissants, ensuring they are evenly soaked.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  8. Let the bake sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Notes

[‘Use day-old croissants for better absorption of the custard.’, ‘Mix Gruyère with cheddar for added flavor depth.’, ‘Assemble the bake the night before for a stress-free morning.’, ‘Tent the dish with foil if the croissants brown too quickly.’]
