A delightful breakfast bake combining buttery croissants, savory sausage, and creamy eggs, perfect for a family brunch.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
Lightly grease a large casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Slice the croissants in half and arrange them in a single layer in the casserole dish.
Ensure the croissants cover the bottom evenly for a consistent base.
In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Breaking the sausage into small pieces helps distribute it evenly.
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the croissant layer in the casserole dish.
Distribute the sausage evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a smooth and creamy mixture.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and croissants in the casserole dish.
Pour slowly to ensure the mixture spreads evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
Allowing it to cool slightly makes slicing easier and enhances flavor.
