Ham-and-cheese croissant meets quiche in this breakfast casserole, making it both flaky and delightfully lush. Here, big pieces of croissant are cozied up against slices of smoked ham and plenty of cheese, all held together by a savory custard punctuated with mustard. The lot gets baked up in a casserole dish until golden and showered in chives. If you have stale or less-than-perfect croissants on hand, this is the time to use them. Any croissant will shine bright here, so no need to be fancy. But make sure to measure them out by weight as every croissant is different.
