January 30th is National Croissant Day! Of course I had to celebrate!

Save this recipe! You’ll want to use it for your next brunch gathering (when gatherings happen again).

I had planned on trying to make my own croissants but just ran out of time. My friend gave me the great idea of making a casserole with store bought croissants and Midwest Nice also served as inspo for this decadent, croissant-filled casserole

This casserole can be prepared in advance. Just put plastic wrap over the casserole dish and store in the fridge until ready to bake. Let it sit at room temp while preheating oven. Always a fan of make-ahead treats!

Could you put this together the night before and bake in the morning?

  Definitely! I often prepare it night before. Let it sit while you preheat the oven and then pop it right in
