HOW TO MAKE CROISSANT BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
To start, during a large skillet, brown the sausage (I used regular but if you're keen on maple or Italian you'll use that too) over medium heat until it’s fully cooked. Transfer to sausage a paper towel-lined plate, then remove the grease by patting it with the paper towels. Place the sausage during a medium bowl and put aside .

Wipe the pan out a touch , then sauté the onion until translucent, add an honest cup filled with spinach and wilt. increase the bowl with the sausage, then toss with a mix of Monterey and cheddar and cubed croissants.

Spread into rock bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan. I used my OXO glass bakeware dish because i really like that it’s made with thermal shock resistant glass, which suggests it can go from freezer to oven or microwave without cracking!! It’s perfect for overnight bakes or freezer meals! It’s a part of their fresh 14 Piece Glass Bake, Serve & Store Set.
