Cheesy Breakfast Croissant Bake with Maple-Glazed Bacon & Sausage

Ingredients

- 4 large croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 6 slices bacon
- 6 ounces sausage, crumbled
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2. Prepare the Bacon and Sausage
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cooled, dice into small pieces.
- In the same skillet, add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

3. Create the Egg Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

4. Assemble the Dish
- In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer the torn croissant pieces evenly.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the croissant pieces, followed by the diced bacon.
- Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients ensuring it seeps through every crevice.
- Evenly spread the shredded Colby Jack cheese on top.

5. Bake the Casserole
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

6. Maple-Glaze the Bacon
- Remove the foil and drizzle the maple syrup over the top.
- Continue to bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

7. Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the finely chopped chives over the baked dish. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
