Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Chop broccoli and shiitake mushrooms into large pieces, including the broccoli stems.

Drizzle olive oil over the chopped vegetables and season with salt and black pepper.

Toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with oil, salt, and pepper.

Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until they start to caramelize.

In a mixing bowl, crack and whisk together eggs until well combined.

Add whole milk and heavy cream to the eggs and whisk until smooth.

Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper.

Shred swiss cheese from a block and add most of it to the egg mixture, reserving some for topping.

Cut croissants into large, irregular pieces and add them to the egg mixture.

Once the roasted vegetables have cooled slightly, add them to the egg and croissant mixture and stir to combine.

Pour the entire mixture into a greased baking dish.

Sprinkle the reserved swiss cheese on top of the mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and the eggs are set.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
