Suncadia Harvest Festival & Fall Maple Apple Cheddar Croissant Bake
I have the perfect breakfast for a festive fall weekend. My Maple Apple Cheddar bake combines buttery croissants, apples, maple ham, eggs, and cheddar cheese to create the most delicious fall breakfast. Prepare it the night before and just pop it in the oven for an easy overnight breakfast dish everyone will love! It was the perfect way to start our day before ALL of the fall activities. The harvest festival at Suncadia is on point: pumpkin patch, monster truck rides AND hay wagon rides, face painting, a live band and line dancing, balloon animals, hay maze, pony rides, bounce house, touch-a-truck, tasty treats, petting zoo, a bar for the parents and more. Truly everything you could possibly want in a fall festival. It is happening next weekend as well… if you make it for the day – do it! Or plan in advance, rent out a house with friends or family and make a weekend out of it next year – and make my delicious apple croissant bake, of course.

Maple Apple Cheddar Croissant Bake
Ingredients
- 4 large few day old croissants, cubed (about 8 cups)
- 1 package organic honey maple ham
- 1 apple, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, add croissant cubes, ham, apple, and cheddar. Gently toss to combine. Spray an 9×13 casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour the croissant mix in to the casserole dish.
- Wipe down the mixing bowl used for the croissant mix. Add eggs, milk, half and half, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread mix, making sure the mixture touches every piece of bread. Press the bread mix with your hands down in to the mixture to help the croissants absorb the mix. Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the casserole from the fridge. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake casserole for 40-45 mins, laying a piece of aluminum foil over the casserole after 30 minutes to prevent the top from getting too dark. Cut and serve.
