This overnight breakfast bake is made with toasted, buttery croissants, spinach, mushrooms, eggs and freshly gruyere cheese. It’s prepped the day before and enjoyed the next morning!
This breakfast will make your Christmas morning magical.
I promise!
It’s toasty and buttery and satisfying and one of the most delicious things you will EVER eat.
See, this croissant bake was one of the great things to come out of 2020 for us.
I discovered this about a week before Christmas. We get speciality sourdough and bread products through a local baker, and he did croissants for Christmas! I ordered them with this in mind knowing that we probably wouldn’t eat the croissants otherwise.
Oh.My.GOSH.
This overnight bake is not only the best I’ve ever tried, it’s the only one I’ve ever truly LOVED.
I’ve made stratas before and those are good. I’ve tried some of those farmer breakfast casseroles. Meh. I’ve done hash brown things. Eh.
THIS is the best overnight breakfast bake and the only one you really need.
Now here’s the deal. It’s super decadent. Very rich. It’s filling and hearty. A little bit goes a long way, and you definitely want to make this for a crowd. Even better if it’s a special occasion or a holiday, but of course it doesn’t have to be.
This is out of this world.
I realize that I sound like an exaggerating crazy dramatic person (which I am) but it is super true.
The original recipe is from the NY times. That one calls for sausage, and that’s how I made it last year for Christmas – completely as written. The thing is that I don’t love sausage at all. It’s not the sausage as much as the fennel seeds, but I rarely cook with sausage. In fact, so many of you ask all the time where all my recipes with sausage can be found!
I don’t love it so I don’t have many recipes with it.
Eddie likes it though, so I tried the recipe as is.
Even with the sausage, I still thought the croissant bake was outstanding. I mostly ate around the sausage though?. So after making it a few more times and putting a few twists on it, I did away with the sausage.
I KNOW.
This probably sounds ridiculous to some of you and I assure you that you can add the sausage in. But for me? I love this with straight up vegetables.
2009 me is seriously freaking out over 2021 me.
YEP.
I used a mix of onions, mushrooms, spinach and garlic to bring this to life. A classic veggie combo. These taste SO delicious against the crispy croissants, melty gruyere cheese, eggs and herbs. So freaking good. (more…)
