Don’t tell anyone, but I eat the leftovers for lunch and dinner, too.

Making Filled Croissants Breakfast Casserole

Preheat the oven to 375° and grease your 9 x 9″ baking dish. Spoiler alert: I tell you how to make a larger portion in a 13 x 9″ dish below.

Unroll your tube of Pillsbury Crescents on a flat surface, then separate the triangles.

Divvy up the Chives & Onion cream cheese among the 8 triangles and spread from corner to corner to corner…it is a triangle, after all. Each dollop is about a heaping teaspoon before you spread it, but use the whole container.

Then, roll up the triangles. Start from the short end and roll so the point ends up on top. See pictures.

Once filled and rolled, place the croissants evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle some thyme on top.

Next, chop your ham up and dice the jalapeño, then sprinkle both around the croissants.

In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and milk together. Add salt and pepper to taste, then pour into the baking dish.

Lastly, sprinkle a cup of Pepper Jack Cheese over the top, then bake for 35 – 40 minutes. The top will be golden brown and a knife inserted into the egg mixture should come out clean. If there’s still runny egg on the knife, bake it some more.

Optionally, garnish with some chopped, fresh parsley and dig in.

So good, mmm mmm tasty!

Alternatives or Substitutes

• Chive & Onion Cream Cheese — use any flavor you love. There’s also Garden Vegetable, Original, and others.
• Chopped Ham — not a fan? Leave it out or use cooked bacon or cooked sausage instead.
• Jalapeño — too hot? Use diced bell pepper; yellow for sweet, green for more of a bite.
• Pepper Jack Cheese — use anything that’s already in your fridge you love. Pepper Jack has jalapeño in it for extra spice and flavor, but it’s got nothing over cheddar.
• Dried Thyme — more of a garlic lover? By all means, swap out or just add the garlic powder right in.
• Give me more! Making it in a 13 x 9″ dish — buy 2 Pillsbury Crescent tubes and double most everything (cream cheese, ham, jalapeños). For the eggs, you’ll need 6, and about 3/4 cup milk. Going from a 9 x 9″ to a 13 x 9″ isn’t doubling it, it’s just making more of a good thing.

My Collected Recipes:

A quick mention of this wonderful blank recipe book that I helped to create with a very dear friend. Write in one or more recipes before giving it to that special person, then they can fill the remaining pages with their favorites, and/or have other special people write out recipes for them. It’s personal, and yes, it takes time and effort — something we’ve gotten away from with all this technology. Check it out HERE where you can order a hard or soft cover. Once there, click on READ SAMPLE to see the pages within. I especially like the “measurements and conversions” page. Also, I make no money from any sales, I just love the idea of this book. Missing my mom as I do, seeing her handwriting always makes me feel closer to her. Give that gift to someone else by writing out a favorite recipe.
