Ingredients

Scale

Croissants

  • 4 fresh or store-bought flaky croissants

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (chives, parsley, basil, tarragon, or thyme), chopped

Toppings (choose your favorites)

  • ½ cup diced ham
  • ½ cup cooked bacon bits
  • ½ cup sautéed mushrooms
  • ½ cup fresh spinach, sautéed or wilted
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Other

  • Butter or oil, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Croissants: Slice each croissant lengthwise without cutting completely through to create a boat shape. Hollow out some of the soft interior to make space for the filling.
  2. Cook Your Fillings: Lightly sauté any vegetables or meats you plan to include, such as mushrooms, spinach, or bacon. This ensures they are cooked through and prevents excess moisture that could sog the croissants.
  3. Mix Eggs and Cheese: In a bowl, whisk together the room temperature eggs, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs until smooth to form a custard-like mixture.
  4. Assemble the Boats: Grease a baking sheet or dish with butter or oil. Place the croissant boats on the sheet, evenly distribute the cooked fillings inside each, then carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture over, filling the cavities without overfilling.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the croissant boats for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs have set and the croissants are crisp and golden on the outside.

Notes

  • Choose fresh croissants for best texture and shape retention after baking.
  • Drain cooked vegetables thoroughly to avoid soggy croissant boats.
  • Use room temperature eggs for a smooth, even filling.
  • Do not overfill the croissants to prevent spills and ensure proper cooking.
  • Allow the croissant boats to cool briefly after baking for the filling to set and to avoid burns upon serving.
