Ingredients
- 1 pound croissants about 6 or 7
- ¾ pound breakfast sausage ground. Remove casings if bulk not available.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper diced
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup half and half or heavy cream
- 2 cups gruyere grated, divided
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for greasing baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Tear croissants into large bite sized pieces and spread on an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Toast for 3-5 minutes in the oven. Keep a close eye as they can brown quickly. Remove when golden brown and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown the breakfast sausage then remove from pan and set aside.
- Add olive oil to pan, then add onions and bell peppers, along with a pinch of salt. Sauté until soft and golden, 5-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by liberally buttering the inside, set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and half and half, salt, pepper, garlic powder.
- Add browned sausage, peppers, onions, and 1 and 1/2 cups of grated gruyere cheese.
- Add croissants and toss until everything is fully combined and croissants are fully moistened.
- Transfer contents of the bowl to the baking dish, pouring any excess liquid on top of the mixture. Arrange mixture in an even layer. Top with a piece of parchment paper (keeps foil from sticking), than cover with foil. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
- When ready to bake, remove from fridge about 30 minutes before baking. Sprinkle remaining half cup of cheese over the top evenly. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake covered for about 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 10-15 minutes longer, until top is golden and there is no visible liquid. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Leftovers are good for 2-3 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
- To freeze leftovers, wrap in foil and then place in a freezer bag. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 4 weeks.
- To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through.
