List of Ingredients



• 3 (5-inch) large croissants
  
• 1 (8-ounce) package chopped ham (or leftover baked ham)
  
• 1 (5-ounce) package shredded Swiss cheese
  
• 6 large eggs

• ½ tsp salt
  
• ½ tsp pepper

Instructions



1. Cut croissants in half lengthwise, and cut each half into 4 to 5 pieces. Place croissant pieces in a lightly greased 10-inch deep-dish pie plate. Top with ham and cheese.
   
   
2. Whisk together eggs, next 5 ingredients, and, if desired, nutmeg, in a large bowl. Pour egg mixture over mixture in pie plate, pressing croissants down to submerge in egg mixture. Cover tightly, and chill 8 to 24 hours.
   
   
3. Preheat oven to 325° F.
   Bake, covered, 35 minutes. Uncover and bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned and set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
