Ingredients
  

6 large buttery croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (choose pork, turkey, or a vegetarian alternative as desired)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a cheese blend preferred)

6 large eggs

2 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Base: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the torn croissant pieces, crumbled cooked sausage, chopped spinach, and half of the shredded cheese. Use your hands or a spatula to gently toss the ingredients together until evenly distributed.

      Whisk the Mixture: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and add the whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Combine the Mixes: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the croissant and sausage mixture from Step 2. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula, ensuring that all croissant pieces are coated with the egg mixture and that the ingredients are well combined.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the dish. Top with the remaining shredded cheese for a deliciously cheesy crust.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 to 45 minutes. The casserole should be puffed up, golden brown on top, and a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Prior to serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped chives or parsley for a vibrant touch. Cut into squares and enjoy a warm, delightful breakfast casserole!
