Ingredients
  

6 large buttery croissants, cut into quarters

8 large eggs

2 cups whole milk

1 cup shredded cheese (such as Gruyère or sharp cheddar)

1 cup diced cooked ham or turkey

1 cup spinach, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

    Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the croissant pieces evenly across the bottom of the dish.

      Sprinkle the diced ham (or turkey), chopped spinach, and half of the shredded cheese over the croissants.

        Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant and filling layers, making sure to soak all the croissants.

          Top with the remaining shredded cheese.

            Cover the casserole tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight to allow the croissants to soak in the egg mixture.

              Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) the next morning.

                Remove the plastic wrap and bake the casserole for 45-55 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

                  Let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

                    Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes (plus overnight soaking) | Servings: 8

                      - Presentation Tips: Serve slices on individual plates with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced breakfast. Decorate with sprigs of parsley for a pop of color.
