Cut bacon into small pieces.

Cook bacon over medium high heat in a large pan until golden brown and crispy.

Remove bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels, then set aside.

Crack 8 large eggs into a large mixing bowl.

Season eggs with onion powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.

Add whole milk to the egg mixture and whisk everything together, then set aside.

Roughly cut croissants into large pieces and place them in a large baking dish.

Optionally grease the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking.

Add a layer of the cooked bacon over the croissants.

Mix white cheddar cheese and Gruyère cheese together, then use half of the cheese to layer over the bread and bacon.

Slowly pour the egg mixture over the bread, cheese, and bacon, gently pushing down the bread to soak up the custard.

Top with the remaining cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and the center is fully cooked.

If the bread starts to burn before 30 minutes, cover with aluminum foil.

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with chives or green onion before serving.
