Ham and cheese croissant bake

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease an ovenproof baking dish (about 18x26cm/7x10½in in size) with butter.

2. 2

   Using a bread knife, cut the croissants through the middle horizontally, being careful not to slice all the way through. Spread each croissant with a teaspoon of mustard.

3. 3

   Place a slice of ham in each croissant then equally share the grated cheese between all six croissants. Place the croissants cut-side up in the greased baking dish.

4. 4

   Crack the eggs into a jug and whisk briefly. Add the double cream, milk, nutmeg and a pinch of salt and pepper and whisk until well combined.

5. 5

   Pour the egg mixture over the croissants and allow to soak for 5 minutes, submerging the croissants in the liquid where needed. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until the egg mixture has just set.

6. 6

   Remove from the oven, scatter with the chopped chives and serve straight to the table.
