The holiday season calls for easy, delicious, and crowd-pleasing brunch ideas, and this Holiday Ham & Cheese Croissant Bake fits the bill perfectly! When I stumbled across a similar baked egg croissant sandwich recipe, I knew I had to put my own spin on it. So, I swapped in savory thinly sliced deli ham, melted Colby Jack, whipped chive cream cheese, and gooey provolone. Let’s just say this is the perfect way to bring a cozy, festive vibe to your brunch table!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Easy to Assemble: With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a warm, flavorful brunch dish that looks as good as it tastes.
• Customizable: Not a fan of ham? You can switch it out for turkey, crispy bacon, or even smoked salmon.
• Perfect for a Crowd: This recipe makes four large croissant sandwiches, so it’s great for hosting family or friends over the holidays.

Ingredients

• 4 large croissants, cut open
• 10 slices thinly sliced deli ham
• 1/3 cup whipped chive cream cheese
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
• 6 eggs, beaten with 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Spray the bottom of a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Croissants: Place the bottom halves of the croissants into the dish, arranging them close together. Set the tops aside for now.
3. Spread the Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the whipped chive cream cheese on the bottom of each croissant.
4. Layer the Cheese: Lay provolone slices on top of the cream cheese and sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top.
5. Melt the Cheese: Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt. Remove from the oven and add the chopped thinly sliced deli ham evenly over the cheese layer.
6. Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour the egg mixture over the croissants and ham.
7. Top It Off: Place the croissant tops back on and brush them with melted butter.
8. Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked. Serve warm and watch them disappear!
