Instructions
-
Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove it from the skillet and drain it well on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set it aside.
-
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Croissants: Split the croissants in half lengthwise. Arrange the bottom halves, cut side up, in a single layer in a well-buttered casserole dish.
-
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Pour about half of this mixture evenly over the croissants in the casserole dish.
-
Layer Ingredients: Sprinkle most of the Gruyere cheese over the croissants in the dish. Next, layer with the crumbled bacon, followed by the fresh mozzarella cheese.
-
Add Remaining Egg Mixture: Pour the remaining egg mixture evenly over the layered croissants.
-
Top and Bake: Place the remaining croissant tops over the mixture in the casserole dish, cut side down. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining Gruyere cheese, parmesan cheese, and a light dusting of nutmeg.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the interior is set, and the cheese on top is bubbly and golden. If the croissants start to brown too quickly, cover the casserole dish with foil during baking.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley or chervil if desired. Cut into portions and serve warm.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the croissants are fresh for the best texture.
- Adjust the baking time based on your oven and desired doneness.
- Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
