This breakfast casserole is as delectable as it is easy. And so different compared to quiche. Serve it at your next brunch, you can even freeze any leftovers. From my new favorite magazine, Southern Living. Serves 10.
Ingredients:
10 deli smoked ham slices (1/4 inches thick)
10 mini-croissants
10 (1/2 oz) Swiss cheese slices
6 large eggs
2 C heavy whipping cream
2 t. Dijon mustard
Thyme sprigs or chopped Italian Parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1) Microwave ham slices between paper towels on a microwaveable plate on High for 45 seconds. Blot with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2) Split croissants open with a serrated knife. Put the croissants on a 13X9" pan that's been sprayed with cooking spray. Put pieces if Swiss cheese on top of the ham, fold in two and stuff into the croissants.
3) Whisk together eggs, cream and Dijon mustard. Pour mixture slowly over stuffed croissants. Avoid touching the croissant tops. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
4) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take dish from refrigerator and take off the plastic. Bake until it's golden brown and a knife inserted came out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Cover with foil the last ten minutes so that the tops of the croissants don't burn. Garnish and serve.
