Ham & cheese brunch bake

Ingredients

 200 g honey ham
 15 croissants, torn into half
 3 large eggs, beaten
 200 g mushrooms, sliced
 1 cup cream
 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
 125 g brie, chopped
 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
 2 garlic cloves, crushed
 1 tbsp olive oil
 Salt & pepper, to taste

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C) fan-forced. Heat the olive oil in a medium frypan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and thyme and season well. Sauté for 5 mins, or until the mushrooms are golden brown.

2

Arrange 6 of the croissants onto the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish. Top the croissants with the mushroom mixture. Arrange the remaining croissants over the top and add chopped brie and weave through torn pieces of ham.

3

In a large jug, mix the garlic cream, milk, eggs and mustard and carefully pour it over the torn croissants. Leave to soak for 10 mins.

4

Cover the baking dish with foil, and bake for 25 mins, until the cream mixture starts to set. Remove the foil and bake for a further 5 mins, until the croissants are golden and the brie is melted. Serve warm.
