I love a breakfast bake that can be assembled the night before, stored in the fridge and then baked in the morning. There are major French flavor vibes going on here, from the croissants to the Dijon to the Gruyère.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Spread the bottom halves of each croissant with the Dijon (I use about 2 teaspoons per croissant) and arrange them mustard-side up in a single layer in the prepared dish. Top each with 2 slices of the ham, 1 slice of the Swiss and a sprinkle of the Gruyère. Top with the remaining croissant halves. Use 2 toothpicks to secure each sandwich.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the half-and-half, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Pour the custard over the croissant sandwiches. Use the back of a spoon to gently press the sandwiches down to absorb more of the custard. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake, covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the eggs are set, another 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, then remove the toothpicks, cut the dish and serve.
