Directions

Step 2 -Put the ham slices between paper towels and place on a microwave-safe plate; warm them in the microwave on high heat for 45 seconds.
Step 3 -Transfer the plate from the microwave and carefully blot the ham slices with clean paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 8 -Slowly pour the egg mixture over the croissant sandwiches.
Step 9 -Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the casserole mixture for at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
Step 10 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 11 -Discard the plastic wrap and bake the casserole, about 25-30 minutes.
Step 12 -Carefully cover the baking dish with foil and bake the casserole until it is golden-brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
Step 13 -Transfer the casserole from the oven and let it cool, about 10 minutes.
Step 14 -Serve the casserole garnished with the thyme.
