Ingredients
Croissant Bake:
- 10 - 12 medium croissants
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk see tips above
- 1 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 250 g sliced provolone cheese
- 350 g sliced black forest ham
Honey Topping:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tsp mustard prepared or Dijon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by greasing the bottom and sides with butter or with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and spices. Mix until smooth.
- Cut the croissants in half (or thirds if the croissants are big).
- Soak the croissant pieces in the egg/milk mixture. Then add the croissant halves to the prepared baking dish. They shouldn't look tidy. Note: you will have leftover egg mixture, keep it...you will need it.
- Fold the deli ham in half, then half again. Tuck the pieces of ham in between the croissants.
- Then tuck slices of cheese in between the croissants (as shown above).
- Pour the remaining egg/milk mixture over the top.
- Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- While the casserole is baking mix together the honey topping ingredients: honey, melted butter and mustard.
- Then after the 30 minute baking time, remove the foil, brush the top of the bake with the honey butter mixture.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for another 25 minutes, or until the croissants have puffed up and the centre of the bake isn’t jiggly. The top of the croissants should be lightly golden brown.
- Let sit for 5 minutes, then serve.
