     Title: Buttery Breakfast Casserole
Categories: Breads, Vegetables, Pork, Dairy, Cheese
     Yield: 9 servings

     1 lb Croissants; split in half
          - lengthwise
     1 tb Extra-virgin olive oil; more
          - for baking dish
     1 bn Scallions; white & light
          - green parts thinly sliced,
          - greens reserved
   3/4 lb Sweet Italian sausage
     2 ts Finely chopped fresh sage
     8 lg Eggs
     3 c  Whole milk
     1 c  Heavy cream
     8 oz Gruyere; grated
 1 1/4 ts Kosher salt
     1 ts Black pepper

 Set oven @ 500ºF/260ºC.

 Spread croissants on a large baking sheet and toast, cut
 side up, until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes (watch
 carefully to see that they do not burn). Let cool, then
 tear into large bite-size pieces.

 In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, warm the
 olive oil. Add sliced scallions and sausage meat; cook,
 breaking up meat with a fork, until mixture is well
 browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in sage, and remove from
 heat.

 In a large bowl, toss together croissants and sausage
 mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk,
 cream, 1 1/2 cups cheese, salt and pepper.

 Lightly oil a 9" x 13" baking dish. Turn croissant
 mixture into pan, spreading it out evenly over the
 bottom. Pour custard into pan, pressing croissants down
 gently to help absorb the liquid. Cover pan with plastic
 wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

 When you’re ready to bake the casserole, set oven @
 350ºF/175ºC. Scatter the remaining grated cheese over
 the top of the casserole. Transfer to oven and bake
 until casserole is golden brown and firm to the touch,
 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with sliced
 scallion tops before serving.
