Ham & Cheese Croissant Bake
/Recipe by Courtney Roulston
Ingredients
8 croissants, split in half (day old or stale are fine)
4 teaspoons dijon mustard
12 slices good quality ham
1 red onion, thinly slice into rings
125g gruyer cheese, grated
125g tasty cheese, grated
4 free range eggs
sea salt and pepper to taste
400ml whole milk
300ml Bulla cooking cream
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for the dish
¼ cup chives, finely sliced
Method
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C. Spread a thin layer of mustard onto the cut side of the croissants. Place the ham, onion and cheese into the croissants and set aside.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Rub the extra virgin olive oil onto the edges of the baking dish and arrange the croissants into the dish. Pour over the egg mixture to cover all of the croissants. Leave for 10- 15 minutes for the croissants to soak up the liquid.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is just set. Remove from the oven and scatter with chives before serving.
