Ingredients
  

6 large buttery croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces

6 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese

1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped (or substitute with vegetables for a vegetarian option)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small onion, diced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      In the prepared baking dish, layer the torn croissant pieces evenly across the bottom.

        Sprinkle the chopped bacon, diced bell pepper, and onion evenly over the croissants.

          Pour the egg mixture over the layers, ensuring that all croissant pieces are moistened.

            Gently press down on the mixture with a spatula to submerge any dry croissant tops, and then sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the top.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the casserole is puffed, set, and the cheese is golden brown.

                Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

                  Garnish with fresh chives and serve warm.
