I always love to create a new breakfast casserole for the holidays!
This one would be perfect for brunch after Black Friday shopping, that lazy Saturday after when you’re putting up the tree…or just popping in the stove on Christmas morning while the presents are being opened. You just can’t loose with this one!
My best helper getting the croissants
torn just right…
For convenience I used deli
ham and turkey …
I think leftover baked ham &
turkey would be incredible as well..
After adding the meat and cheese
to the croissants,
Whisk the eggs with the whipping cream
And pour the mixture over the croissants…
After a few stirs to combine…
pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 pan…
Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
the next morning…
uncover and bake on 350 degrees
for 40-45 minutes…
Melt the raspberry jam over
low heat until it has a pouring
consistency ..
Remove the beautiful casserole
from the oven …
Dust it with the
confectioners sugar…
Drizzle on the warm jam..
It will look simply amazing like this!!
Oh just look at that!
swoon…
How could you not enjoy every last bite!
