- Sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese over the croissants. Then, add the sliced green onions.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring that all croissant pieces are soaked.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the croissants to absorb the egg mixture fully.

- Remove the plastic wrap and bake the casserole for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
