My mom used to make this ham and cheese croissant breakfast casserole for special occasions like sleepovers or Christmas morning. I try to make it the morning after whenever I bake a ham, which is only a few times per year, so it is still a special treat.
I once made it for brunch with a group of friends a few years ago. A vegetarian had a piece and said I changed his life.
But it wasn’t me, it was this magical casserole.

Ham & Cheese Croissant Bake
Ingredients
- About 6 mini or 3 regular size croissants
- 10 ounces cooked bone-in ham cut in to bitesize chunks, I usually use the leftovers the night after baking a ham
- 6 oz of cheese, shredded ( I recommend cheddar, but you could use something like swiss instead)
- 6 Eggs
- 1 cup of half & half
- 1 tablespoon dry ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cut or tear croissants into halves or thirds, depending on size. Place the croissant pieces inside a pie plate.
- Top with the chunks of ham and the cheese.
- Put the eggs, half & half, dry mustard, honey, salt, and pepper into a bowl and whisk together until well blended.
- Pour the egg mixture over the croissants and ham. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, preheat your oven to 325°. Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes. Then remove cover and bake an additional 30 minutes.
- Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
