Croissant Omelette
4 large croissants
2 cups grated Swiss cheese
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
5 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Optional - 1/8 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice each croissant into top
and bottom halves. Butter or Pam spray 4 round ramekins
(or 2 cup baking dishes). Put bottom half of each croissant
in a ramekin, cut side up. Set aside 1/3 cup grated Swiss
cheese for garnish. Divide remaining Swiss, cheddar, and
Parmesan cheeses between croissants.
In bowl, beat
eggs, milk and seasonings. Pour mixture over cheeses and
croissants (about 2/3 cup per croissant). Replace tops.
Sprinkle reserved Swiss cheese equally over croissants.
Place ramekins in water bath and bake until eggs are set
- about 20 minutes. Eggs are set when any soft area looks
like melted cheese.
May be served in ramekins or removed to plate to serve.
Keep warm in 170 degree oven covered with foil until served.
