Combining two French delights into an epic breakfast bake!!

Ingredients
- 6 Croissants
- 200g shaved ham
- 6 slices of cheese
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- Man Grind
Béchamel
- 30g butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- Man Grind
- ½ tsp wholegrain mustard
Directions
Béchamel
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and add flour. Cook off for about 30 seconds to one minute.
- Pour in the milk and whisk until smooth and starting to thicken. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for two minutes while stirring.
- Add mustard and season well with Man Grind. Remove from the heat. You should have a fairly thick béchamel sauce.
Assembly
- Cut the croissants in half horizontally. Spread a little béchamel on each half of the croissant and place a couple of slices of ham and a slice of cheese on top. Repeat with all the croissants. You should have some béchamel left over for the top.
- Cut the filled croissants in half and arrange in a shallow casserole or baking dish.
- Whisk together 4 eggs and 1/4 cup of milk and season with Man Grind. Pour over the filled croissants and give them a gentle push or jiggle to encourage them to soak up a little or the egg on the bottom.
- Dollop any remaining béchamel ontop of the croissants and add a little additional grated cheese if you like.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 180C Fan Bake or until golden and the egg has puffed up. Keep a fairly close eye on it because the croissants can burn easily.
- Serve immediately
