Ingredients
  

6 large croissants, cut in half

200g (7 oz) sliced ham

200g (7 oz) cheese (Swiss or Gruyère), shredded

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the cut halves of the croissants, both sides facing up.

      Distribute the sliced ham evenly over the croissant base, followed by half of the shredded cheese.

        In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.

          Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered croissants and ham. Gently press down with a spatula to ensure the croissants absorb the mixture.

            Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped chives if using.

              Allow the bake to sit for about 10-15 minutes, so the croissants can soak up the egg mixture.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the egg is set in the center.

                  Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares to serve.
