This Ham and Cheese Croissant Bake is a perfect simple breakfast that everyone will love! With butter croissants, Greyere cheese, ham, and eggs you have all the must haves.
I saw a very similar breakfast casserole the other day from my friend Kaylee Stevie and knew I needed to recreate it! It was super simple to make and would be a great breakfast to make the morning of Christmas. Get the family involved by letting the kids rip the croissants and place the ham or you can assemble the night before, pour the egg mixture on top the next morning and have a super easy overnight breakfast casserole that you can throw in the oven while the kids are opening breakfast.
Ingredients
- Croissants – I used the big croissants from Costco for this recipe, but most grocery stores carry them.
- Ham – just regular deli ham works, or you could swap for Canadian bacon as well.
- Eggs – holds everything together
- Milk + Heavy Cream – for the egg mixture. You could use just milk or just heavy cream.
- Dijon Mustard – the perfect mustard flavor to go with the ham.
- Greyere Cheese – I love how this pairs with ham, but you could swap out for whatever cheese you have on hand.
- Salt + Pepper
How to Make Super Easy Ham and Cheese Croissant Breakfast Bake
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Tear the croissants into half or thirds and place into a 9×13 baking dish.
- Add in sliced ham between pieces of croissant.
- In a small bowl add eggs, heavy cream, mustard, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
- Pour egg mixture over top croissants and ham, then top with shredded cheese.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for 15 minutes.
Is this an overnight casserole?
No. This is assembled and baked all in the same day. However, you can make this easy on yourself and add the croissants and ham to the baking dish the night before and mix together the egg mixture. Place in the fridge overnight and then pour the egg mixture on top of the croissants and bake the next morning.

I used what I had on hand (substituting torn butter flaky rolls that had a similar texture to croissants, Mexican cheese shreds, and Lightlife Tempeh plant based smoky “bacon” for the ham), and the bake turned out delicious! A new family favorite and so easy to make!!
