Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Large Croissants
  • 1 Lb Ground Sausage
  • 8 Large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Chives

Instructions
 

  • Brown your sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break the meat into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain the excess fat once the meat is brown.
  • Tear your buttery croissants into bite-sized pieces. Spread them evenly across the bottom of the dish. This creates a fluffy foundation for the meal.
  • Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the torn croissant pieces. Add a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese next. Make sure the cheese covers all the corners.
  • Whisk your eggs, milk, and cream in a bowl. Add the salt, pepper, and chopped fresh chives. Pour this liquid mixture slowly over the bread.
  • Press the bread down gently with a spoon. This helps the croissants soak up the egg liquid. Let it sit for at least twenty minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the casserole until the top looks golden brown. The center should be firm and not jiggly.

Notes

  • Use high-quality croissants from a local bakery.
  • Let the casserole sit overnight in the fridge.
  • Brown the sausage well for the best flavor.
  • Cover with foil if the top browns too fast.
  • Always use fresh eggs for a better rise.
  • Grate your own cheese for a smoother melt.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder for extra zest.
