For one, you can’t go wrong with ham & Swiss. It’s a classic combo for good reason. And then there are the croissants. Yep…you heard me right. Ham + Swiss + eggs + CROISSANTS!!! It’s pretty much heaven in a 9×13 inch pan.

HOW DO YOU MAKE HAM & CHEESE EGG BAKE?

1. Cut croissants into 2 inch cubes and spread them in a 9×13 inch pan.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sour cream, salt & pepper.
3. Stir in shredded cheese and ham.
4. Pour egg mixture over croissants.
5. Bake & enjoy!

WHAT KIND OF HAM DO YOU USE?

Feel free to use any kind of ham you have in your fridge, from deli ham to ham steak to leftover Easter ham. As long as it’s chopped into bite sized pieces, it will work well in this recipe.

CAN YOU USE HEAVY CREAM?

Yes, you can feel free to substitute heavy cream or half and half for the milk. Doing so will produce a richer result. Just keep in mind that there’s already a great deal of richness from the croissants, eggs, and Swiss cheese.

HOW DO YOU STORE LEFTOVERS?

Leftovers can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can store them right in the pan (covered with aluminum foil) or in an airtight food storage container.

HOW DO YOU REHEAT LEFTOVERS?

The best way to reheat this recipe is in the oven or toaster oven, both of which allow the croissants to crisp up a bit. However, this dish will also reheat well in the microwave.

WHAT GOES WELL WITH HAM & CHEESE CROISSANT EGG BAKE?

• Lemon Basil Berry Salad
• Lemon Zucchini Bread 
• Pineapple Upside Down Mimosas
• Garlic Herb Cheesy Potatoes
• Lemon Raspberry Coffee Cake 

My favorite thing about this recipe, aside from the fact that it’s so deliciously flavorful, is that you make it the night before. Which means no more morning rush! Just wake up, pop it in the oven, and voila. You have yourself an amazing little breakfast.

And, not that you needed any more reasons to love this recipe, but it reheats beautifully. So just in case you happen to have any leftovers, you’re good to go! It really doesn’t get any better than that.
