Ingredients

10 ounces baked croissants or crescent rolls, torn into bite-sized pieces (see notes)
12 ounce package bacon, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup shredded cheese
12 eggs
½ cup milk of choice
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Garnish: 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the croissant pieces, topped with the bacon pieces, and lastly the shredded cheese on top. Set the dish aside.
10 ounces baked croissants or crescent rolls, torn into bite-sized pieces, 12 ounce package bacon, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces, 1 cup shredded cheese
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic salt, paprika, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes until combined.
12 eggs, ½ cup milk of choice, 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the dry ingredients in the baking dish. Press the croissant pieces down into the egg mixture, if needed, so they are thoroughly coated.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center of the casserole is puffed and springs back when touched and the casserole is a light golden brown color.
Top with the sliced green onions and serve warm.
Garnish: 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

Ingredient Tips - Croissants and crescent rolls are interchangeable in this recipe depending on what you can find at the grocery store or want to bake yourself. Two (8 ounce) packages of refrigerated crescent roll dough makes enough “croissants” once baked. We usually have 4 extra crescent rolls. Cow’s milk or plant-based milk works well in this recipe.
