Monte Cristo Breakfast Casserole Recipe

November 14, 2018 by Lisa Pinney

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!
