• 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
• 12 eggs
• 3 cups milk
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dish:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9×13 inch ovenproof dish and set it aside.

2. Prepare the Croissants:

3. Prepare the Casserole Mixture:

   • Cube the bottom halves of the croissants and place them in a large mixing bowl.
   • Add the Swiss cheese, smoked salmon or ham, and chopped chives to the bowl with the croissant cubes. Mix gently to combine.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.

5. Combine and Bake:

   • Pour the egg mixture over the croissant mixture in the large bowl. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
   • Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

6. Finish and Bake:

   • Arrange the reserved croissant halves on top of the casserole, pressing them gently into the egg mixture to moisten.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the casserole is puffed up and golden brown.

7. Serve Warm:

   • Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Croissant & Salmon (or Ham) Breakfast Casserole warm and savory!
