Holiday Brunch–Ham, Gruyere and Cheddar Croissant Casserole

December 21, 2018 by Tonja Leave a Comment

I’m rounding out my holiday entertaining with a new favorite egg bake.  There are chunks of ham and buttery croissants in every bite.  Melty Gruyere, cheddar cheese, and extra seasonings give this casserole a definite upgrade.  Can be made ahead and baked off while you lounge in your P.J.’s and sip your bloody mary–I mean coffee!
