How to Make Turkey Bacon & Cheese Croissant Bake in Ramekins

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease six 6 oz ramekins with butter or nonstick spray. Place them on a baking sheet for easy transfer.

Step 2: Combine Everything

In a large bowl, tear croissants into bite-sized chunks. Add the cooked turkey bacon and shredded cheese.
In the same bowl, crack in the eggs, pour in the milk, season with salt and pepper, and gently mix everything until croissants are soaked.

Step 3: Fill the Ramekins

Spoon the croissant mixture evenly into each ramekin. Press down lightly to ensure even soaking. Top with a bit more cheese or seasoning if you'd like.

Step 4: Bake

Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the center is set. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

• Make ahead: Assemble the bakes the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning with an extra 5 minutes added to the cooking time.

• Store leftovers: Refrigerate baked ramekins for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

• Freezer-friendly: Let cool, then freeze. Reheat from frozen at 350°F until warmed through.

Substitutions & Variations

• Swap turkey bacon for regular bacon, ham, sausage, or a meatless alternative.

• Add veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

• Use croissant rolls, brioche, or sourdough for a slightly different texture.

• Add a sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning or drizzle with hot honey for a flavor boost.

Serving Ideas

• Serve alongside fruit salad or a green smoothie for a balanced breakfast.

• Plate on top of a small salad for a fun brunch or light lunch.

• Use these for holiday breakfasts, bridal showers, or back-to-school meal prep.
