Cheesy Egg Bacon Croissant Casserole
1. Sauté
First things first, you’ll start by sautéing the shallots and garlic. This will make the flavors more fragrant when they actually bake with the other other ingredients.
This is when you’ll want to fry your bacon. You’ll want to cook it before it bakes with the other ingredients as well.
2. Whisk
Now it’s time to whisk all the ingredients (minus the croissants) in a large mixing bowl. Add 12 eggs, milk, cheese, sautéed shallots and garlic, chopped bacon, mustard and seasonings.
3. Pour
Then, pour the egg mixture into your baking dish (we absolutely love this one from Crate & Barrel). Half your croissants and place in the egg mixture—making sure you can see the tops of the croissants.
4. Bake
Finally, it’s time to bake! Cover the Cheesy Egg Bacon Croissant Casserole and bake for 25-30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and back for 10 more minutes.
PRO TIP: Bake time totally depends on how your oven heats and bakes, so we recommend starting off with 10 minutes (without the foil). If the egg its till runny and not fully cooked, add at least 5 more minutes to the time. You’ll want to cook the egg until it’s all the way cooked through.
Top with freshly chopped parsley and serve your guests with some of your other favorite brunch recipes!
