Wash your hands before starting.

In a hot pan, add sausage and cook until there is no more pink meat, using a meat masher to break it up.

Drain off excess grease and set the cooked sausage aside.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, half and half, dry mustard, a squeeze of honey, and salt and pepper. Mix well, breaking up all the egg yolks.

Chop the croissants into even pieces and place them in a 9x9 pan (or a 9x13 pan if doubling the recipe).

Layer the cooked sausage over the chopped croissants.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of the sausage and croissants.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the pan.

Place the pan in a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

After baking, let the casserole cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into it.
