What You Need
- 4 large croissants
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Garlic and herb cream cheese (to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar blend)
- 8 slices oven-roasted deli turkey
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing)
- Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a square baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
2. Prep the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy whipping cream. Season with salt, white pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Beat the mixture well by hand or with a mixer until completely blended and slightly frothy.
3. Slice and Spread
Slice each croissant in half lengthwise, creating a top and bottom. Generously spread garlic and herb cream cheese on the inside of each half.
4. Build the Sandwich Base
Place the bottom halves of each croissant into your baking dish. On top of the cream cheese layer, sprinkle shredded cheese, then layer the turkey slices and add a slice of provolone cheese to each sandwich.
5. Close and Pour
Place the top halves of the croissants over each sandwich. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over all the croissants, making sure to coat each one. Press down slightly to help them soak it in.
6. Bake Until Golden
Place the dish into the oven and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops of the croissants are golden brown.
7. Finish with Butter and Chives
Once out of the oven, immediately brush the tops with melted butter. Finish by sprinkling with fresh chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Pro Tips
This croissant bake is the definition of a glow-up for basic breakfast sandwiches. The richness of the croissant soaks up the egg like a casserole but stays crispy on top—no sogginess in sight. If you’re serving guests or meal prepping for the week, this bake is both impressive and practical.
Want to add a little heat? A dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños mixed into the eggs can level up the flavor. And while turkey is the star here, feel free to sub in ham, bacon, or even plant-based deli slices.
