A quick and easy croissant bake combining crispy prosciutto, creamy brie, and a sweet honey drizzle, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large croissants, preferably day-old or slightly stale, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small chunks
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk (360 ml)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120 ml)
  • 3 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Tear the croissants into bite-sized chunks (about 1 to 1½ inches). Toss them gently into the baking dish to create an even layer.
  3. Tear the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and scatter evenly over the croissants. Place the chunks of brie all over.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissant, prosciutto, and brie layers. Use a spatula to gently press down on the croissants. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the custard.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy and the custard is set but slightly jiggly.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle honey evenly across the top.
  8. Serve warm, ideally with a simple green salad or fresh fruit.

Notes

Use day-old croissants for best texture. Let croissants soak in custard for 5-10 minutes before baking. If top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 15 minutes. Use thinly sliced prosciutto for crispiness. For gluten-free, substitute croissants with gluten-free puff pastry. For dairy-free, use vegan cream and cheese alternatives.
