How to Make Cheesy Sausage Croissant Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer the torn croissant pieces evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the croissant pieces, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top, ensuring that all croissant pieces are soaked.
- Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the croissants to absorb some of the egg mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped chives or parsley, if desired.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- For an even more flavorful dish, use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack along with cheddar.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, consider adding diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture.
- Allowing the dish to rest before slicing helps it hold its shape better.
Easy Variations
- Swap the sausage for cooked bacon or ham for a different flavor profile.
- Add in vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra nutrients and flavor.
- Make it a sweet and savory breakfast by drizzling with maple syrup before serving.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
- A side of crispy bacon or breakfast potatoes
- Warm pastries or muffins for a sweet touch
- Coffee or a refreshing juice to complete the meal
