This savory croissant breakfast casserole is a great option when you want to impress guests. It can even be prepared the night before and refrigerated overnight to make your morning less chaotic. Don’t you love recipes you can prep the night before so all you have to do is put it in the oven?

I love this recipe because it’s a great way to use up extra croissants, eggs, or sandwich meat if you have too much on hand. I know that I usually always have a ton of eggs on hand because my mom has a few laying hens at her house.
