Instructions

  1. In medium pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, leeks, and onion with ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Saute for about 10 minutes. When the mushrooms and onions are soft and caramelized, add the garlic, mustard, and sherry vinegar and cook for 1 additional minute. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until thoroughly combined. Add the cooled mushroom mixture, ham, cheeses, and black pepper, and remaining ¾ teaspoon of salt. Gently fold in the croissant pieces. 
  3. Generously butter a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add the casserole mixture to the pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight. 
  4. In the morning, preheat the oven to 375ºF. Bake the casserole for 1 hour, or until the top is golden, the edges are crispy, and the center is set.
