Ingredients

• 6 large buttery croissants, torn into pieces
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
• 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or diced ham
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup fresh basil or parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• to taste salt and pepper
• optional hot sauce for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Add the torn croissant pieces to the egg mixture and gently fold to coat, allowing them to soak for about 10 minutes.
4. Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked sausage or ham, cherry tomatoes, and chopped herbs. Mix until evenly distributed.
5. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and golden brown on top. A knife inserted should come out clean.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.
8. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with hot sauce for an extra kick.
