- Add the diced ham, grated cheese and chopped chives to the egg mixture and stir.
- Cut the croissants into 1½-inch pieces with a bread knife and put them in the buttered dish.
- Pour the egg mixture over the croissants and toss so they soak it all up. No dry pieces should remain.

- Bake at 425°F for 34 to 38 minutes, laying foil over the dish at the 15-minute mark to stop over-browning.
- Bake until the custard is completely set with no liquid egg on top. Cut into portions with a sharp serrated knife and serve warm.
