Equipment

Method
 

  1. Cut the croissants into bite-sized pieces and arrange them in a buttered baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the cooked chicken evenly over the croissants followed by a layer of grated cheese.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, and mustard, seasoning with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then pour over the croissants.
  4. Allow the croissants to soak for 10 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, use stale croissants to enhance absorption of the custard mixture. Don’t skip the soaking step to ensure a moist casserole. Experiment with different cheeses based on your preference. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat as needed for a quick meal. Serve with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
