Ham & Cheese Croissant Casserole

Ham & Cheese Croissant Casserole - love this overnight breakfast casserole! Ham, croissants, swiss cheese, eggs, half-and-half, dry mustard, honey, salt and pepper. Assemble the night before and bake in the morning. Great way to use up any leftover holiday ham!! #casserole #breakfast #croissant #makeaheadcasserole

Easter is this weekend. If you are like us, you are probably making a big ham for Easter dinner. I look forward to all the leftovers! This Ham & Cheese Croissant Casserole is one of my favorite ways to use up all that leftover ham.

This Ham & Cheese Croissant Casserole needs to be made at least 8 hours in advance. You can refrigerate it up to 24-hours in advance. The croissants need time to soak up all the yummy egg mixture.

Now, lets talk about croissants. The picture above is a croissant. You find them in the bakery at the grocery store or your local bakery. This recipe does NOT use refrigerated crescent rolls. Croissants and crescent rolls are NOT the same thing. Please make note to use croissants that you buy at the store.

We LOVED this Ham & Cheese Croissant Casserole. It is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is also great for overnight guests. Whip this up before bed and just pop it in the oven when you get up. Easy peasy!
