    3 large

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the croissants into thirds to create manageable bite-sized pieces for layering.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream or milk, salt, garlic salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary until fully combined for a flavorful custard base.

  3. 3

    Dunk each croissant piece into the egg mixture, shaking off any excess liquid to avoid sogginess. Arrange the soaked croissants evenly in a baking dish, filling the dish completely.

  4. 4

    Fill the gaps between croissant pieces with slices of the deli meats and Swiss cheese, then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top to layer in cheesy goodness.

  5. 5

    Combine butter, honey, and fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme) in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl and mix until smooth and well integrated.

  6. 6

    Bake the assembled dish at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or until the cheeses melt and the bake is heated through. Periodically baste the dish with the honey butter herb sauce to infuse flavor and moisture.
