Overnight Cheesy Sausage and Croissant Casserole Recipe
Overnight Cheesy Sausage and Croissant Casserole - buttery croissants, sausage, eggs, heavy cream and gruyere cheese - make and refrigerate overnight. SO delicious!! Great casserole recipe for Christmas morning!
*The casserole uses a package of mini croissants. I found them in the bakery section at my grocery store. Ask for them if you can't find them. I've also seen croissants at Costco. You could always freeze any extra croissants for later.*
