At a glance

Ingredients

  • 28cm x 18cm (11” x 7”) oval or rectangular baking dish
  • 5 croissants, cut into 3 pieces each
  • ¼ cup thickened cream
  • 1 cup full cream milk
  • ½ tsp Italian herbs
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 300g diced bacon bits or
  • 3 rashers of bacon, finely chopped
  • 1 cup grated extra tasty cheese
  • fresh thyme sprigs to garnish

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 28cm x 18cm baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or brush it with melted butter.
  2. Add the croissant pieces, diced bacon, and half of the grated cheese to the baking dish. Gently toss to ensure the bacon and cheese are evenly distributed.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, Italian herbs, eggs, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant mixture, pressing down gently so the croissants absorb the liquid.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top.
  6. Cover the dish with baking paper, then foil, and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and baking paper, then bake uncovered for 10 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and crisp.
  8. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and serve immediately.
