Cheese and Ham Croissant Bake

Charmaine Lu -
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 8 all butter croissants, split in half
  • 8 slices of ham
  • 250g grated gruyere or medium cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 350ml milk
  • 200ml cream
  • Butter
  • Chopped chives
  • Spread the cut side of the croissants with a thin layer of mustard, then stuff with the ham and cheese and close with the other side of the croissant to make 8 sandwiches. Whisk together the eggs, cream and milk, season liberally and butter a 35cm ovenproof dish.
  • Arrange the croissants in the oven dish and pour over the egg and cream mixture. Leave for 15 mins to soak, then bake at 180C for 25 mins or until the egg is set and everything is cooked and gooey. Scatter with chives and black pepper, and serve as a decadent brunch or lunch dish!
