Ingredients
- 6 large croissants
- 10-12 slices thin deli meat ham, turkey or prosciutto
- 4 eggs 3 large or 4 small
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary and thyme finely chopped (reserve 1 tsp)

Honey Butter and Herb Sauce
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup honey

Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees f.
- Slice the croissants into thirds.
- Add the eggs, cream, milk, fresh herbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to a large mixing bowl and mix well.
- Lightly spray the baking dish with non stick spray.
- Using tongs or a fork, dip the pieces of the croissants into the egg mixture, turning them and fully coating. Shake off any excess mixture
- Place into the baking dish. Repeat for all croissant pieces.
- Fold the slices of ham in half, then half again, and in half once more to create the illusion of a rose.
- Slide the meat roses into the dish wherever you’d like. I like to space them out a bit.
- Add the small slices of cheese between the bread
- Sprinkle the edges with the shredded cheese.
- Bake for 30-40 mins until the egg mixture had cooked fully and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Make the sauce by adding honey, butter and reserved herbs to a small bowl.
- Microwave in 30 second intervals until butter is melted.
- Brush the honey butter onto the croissants once removed from the oven
- Serve and enjoy
Notes
- For smaller meat roses, cut ham slices in half before folding.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on the edges to help it stay together.
- Customize with your favorite additions, like green onions, green peppers or red peppers, or diced ham.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container after cooling to room temperature. Keep it in the fridge for 3 days.
- Serve with fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
- Sprinke the casserole with some fresh parsley before serving.
