Ingredients
– 9 whole eggs (beaten)
– 3 egg whites (beaten)
– ½ cup of 2% milk
– 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
– ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
– ½ cup of chopped bacon (about 4-5 strips, using crispy bacon for the best texture)
– 4 ounces of shredded Gruyere cheese (or substitutes like mozzarella, white cheddar, or pepper jack)
– 4 ounces of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– Approximately 10 croissants (pulled in half)
– Fresh chopped chives (used as a garnish)
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Cut the croissants into bite-sized pieces and layer them in the dish for an even base.
2-Whisking the Mixture: In a bowl, whisk the 9 whole eggs and 3 egg whites with ½ cup of 2% milk, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder until smooth. Fold in half of the shredded Gruyere and sharp cheddar cheese along with the chopped bacon.
3-Arrange the halved croissants in a lightly oiled 9×13 inch casserole dish, pour the egg mixture over them evenly, and top with the rest of the cheese.
4-Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 35 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked.
5-Once it’s done, garnish with fresh chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
6-Let it cool slightly before serving to help it set, serving 6 to 8 people with ease.
