I love making special breakfasts for special occasions. Birthdays, holidays or really, just because. When I was brainstorming this post, I settled on croissants for a couple of reasons.

One, I had a box of croissants from the store that I needed to use up and they would add so much flavor since they are so buttery.

Two, we were heading out of town and I wanted to use them up before leaving. I know, I could have frozen them but then I might not have made this wonderful maple sausage croissant breakfast casserole.

Ingredients for Maple Sausage Croissant Breakfast Casserole

  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Maple Syrup
  • Eggs
  • Butter
  • Half and Half

Shredded Cabot cheese.

You may be wondering about the cheese and why I didn’t buy pre-shredded cheese. For starters, I like Cabot cheese. It’s creamy, shreds well, and melts beautifully.

Pre-shredded cheeses have an anti-caking additive that prevents it from melting well. That’s why I always recommend shredding your own cheese off of a block.

If you can find maple sausage feel free to use it. That was my original thought but when I couldn’t find it I improvised.

The maple was very subtle. There are so many layers of flavor. Your family and guests are sure to feel special.
