Directions

  2. Tear fresh croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them in the greased baking dish, creating an even layer.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined, achieving a smooth texture.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the torn croissants, ensuring every piece gets a soak. Sprinkling your choice of deli meats and cheese evenly on top.
  5. Place the prepared casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Look for a golden brown top and a slightly jiggle in the center.
  6. Once baked, let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
