Adapted many years ago from a recipe in the Calgary Herald newspaper. It is a no fail recipe! Easy for the beginner cook and looks very elegant. Can be doubled and tripled with no problem! Cook time does not take into consideration overnight sitting time, so plan ahead!!

    This was so easy and delicious! I increased everything for 5 people. I used Half and Half instead of milk. I also took the advice of a poster and used butter croissants from GFS. I used less cheese and green onion. The picture shows 2 croissants and they filled a 9" deep dish pie plate. I will be making this again! Thanks for sharing!

    This was a lovely change for our Sunday breakfast. I didnt have any swiss cheese so just used colby instead. I liked the crunch of the croissants an the creaminess of the melted cheese..I thought I might add some green bell pepper next time and maybe even a litle ham..great recipe, thanks for sharing.

    This is a well written recipe that is quick and easy to assemble. It tasted good, but due to my own preferences I will add some spice to it next time around. Thank you for sharing your yummy recipe MarieAlice.
