This Little Smokie Croissant Breakfast Casserole was a huge hit! How could it not be? Buttery croissants, cheddar cheese, little smokies, eggs and milk. YUM! This recipe calls for a package of mini-croissants. I found the croissants in the bakery section at the grocery store. They came in a 10-oz package.

Does this have to be prepared and refrigerated 8 hrs in advance or can it be cooked right away?
I’ve only made this as written, so I can not say.
If you can leave it sit for a half hour in the fridge it soaks up the egg mixture better. But you can bake right away if you wish.
Can this recipe be made the night before?
yes
Really good. I divide the recipe in half, using 2 eggs instead of 5. Freeze the remaining croissants and little smokies for future use. Even half a recipe is generous, and a 9×13-inch pan will work. Thanks for a go-to recipe my family enjoys.
Croissant dough or prepared croissants?
Prepared croissants – I bought them in the bakery section at the grocery store
