Ingredients
- 6 large croissants preferably day-old, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 ½ cups cooked ham diced (or substitute with bacon, turkey, etc.)
- 2 cups shredded Gruyère Swiss, or cheddar cheese (or a mix)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups half-and-half or whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons everything Bagel seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- fresh herbs optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Tear the croissants into medium pieces and spread them evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the diced ham evenly over the croissant pieces.
- Add 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheese, distributing it evenly over the ham and croissants.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant, ham, and cheese layers. Gently press down the croissant pieces to ensure they are soaked in the egg mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese on top.
- Mix the melted butter with the everything bagel seasoning. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the top of the strata.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the strata for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step is crucial for allowing the croissants to absorb the egg mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the strata from the fridge, uncover, and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before baking.
- Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden and puffed, and the center is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean).
- Let the strata rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
