Ingredients
  

6 large buttery croissants, torn into pieces

1 ½ cups cooked ham, diced

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

6 large eggs

2 cups milk

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the torn croissant pieces, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

        Pour the egg mixture over the croissant and ham mixture in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are coated. Gently press the croissants down to soak up the egg mixture.

          Let the casserole sit for about 15 minutes, allowing the croissants to absorb the custard mixture.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

              Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares, garnish with chopped chives, and serve warm.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve directly from the baking dish, or plate individual squares on a colorful platter garnished with additional chives and a side of fresh fruit for a complete breakfast experience.
