I can not begin to put into words how delicious this Chocolate Croissant Breakfast Bake tasted. It was hands down one of the best sweet breakfast bakes I’ve ever eaten. Buttery croissants, cream cheese, sugar, and chocolate – how could it not be amazing?!?!?! You must try this ASAP! I promise you will love it.

Ham & Cheese Croissant Casserole - love this overnight breakfast casserole! Ham, croissants, swiss cheese, eggs, half-and-half, dry mustard, honey, salt and pepper. Assemble the night before and bake in the morning. Great way to use up any leftover holiday ham!! #casserole #breakfast #croissant #makeaheadcasserole

Now, let’s talk about croissants. The picture above is a croissant. You find them in the bakery at the grocery store or your local bakery. This recipe does NOT use refrigerated crescent rolls. Croissants and crescent rolls are NOT the same thing. Please make a note to use croissants that you buy at the store.

This casserole can be made the night before and refrigerated overnight. This would be perfect for Christmas morning! I love make-ahead recipes, especially for the holidays! Easy preparation and easy clean up are a must this time of year!

We ate this for breakfast, but it is also great as a dessert. This recipe is also easy to half and bake in a 9×9-inch pan if you don’t need the whole recipe. We preferred to serve this slightly warm. If you are doing this for dessert, it might be good with a big ol’ scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ohmygoodness this looks DELICIOUS as do all of your recipes, Ms. Chicky!! If I prepare it in a glass dish, should I let it come to room temperature before putting into a hot oven? TIA!! 🍫🥐👩‍🍳

I have made this recipe dozens of times several of my grandchildren request this for their birthday breakfast or holiday celebrations!
It is the best! An important step that you may want to add to the instructions would be… be sure the cream cheese is room temp and soft enough to beat into a smooth texture. Once the cream cheese is blended thoroughly… then add the eggs, vanilla and sugar. Blend that and then add the milk. No clumpy cream cheeses chunks…You will not regret making this!
