HAM-AND-CHEESE CROISSANT CASSEROLE

Category: Ham

3 (5-inch) large croissants
1 (8-oz.) package chopped cooked ham
1 (5-oz.) package shredded Swiss cheese
6 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1 tbsp dry mustard
2 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

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.

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.

Preheat oven to 325. Bake, covered, 35 minutes. Uncover and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until browned and set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serves 6
