By Morganp9661

Ingredients

• 1 pound spicy breakfast sausage
• 3/4 cup onion, diced
• 1/4 cup green bell pepper, sliced
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 teaspoon garlic
• 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 10 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup half & half
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 4-6 freshly baked croissants
• 1 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
• 1 cup Monterrey-jack cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Brown sausage in a large skillet and drain most of the fat. Add vegetables, garlic and seasoning and cook 5 minutes. Set aside.
Mix together eggs, half and half, and dry mustard in a mixing bowl. Cut the croissants into small cubes. Fold the croissants, cheeses and sausage mixture into the eggs. Depending on the size and density of the croissants, you might not need all of them. Add half of the cubes first and stir. Keep adding until the mixture is damp(there should be a little liquid in the bowl; don't add so many croissants that the all of the liquid is absorbed and the dish is dry) Mix well and place in a buttered 2-quart baking dish.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
