Greek Croissant Egg Casserole

“Enjoy Greek Croissant Egg Casserole, a simple and delicious brunch option. This flavorful dish combines the richness of croissants, feta cheese, and Mediterranean flavors for a delightful meal.”

I’m at a crossroads.

I mentioned on Instagram Stories the other day that I was looking for a high chair. 

Well, after doing some research and asking y’all your thoughts on the IKEA Antilop High Chair, I decided to buy it. I went to IKEA’s website, loaded up the cart, clicked checkout, and was denied. Strange? 

Did a little bit of research on their site and found out the Colorado store is closed. WTF? I feel like IKEA would be crushing it right now with everyone staying home and wanting to update their domicile. After finding out that little bit info I was back at a crossroads with purchasing a high chair. 

From what I can gather you can either purchase one for $80 or $350. There’s zero middle ground. The cheaper ones look terrible and not to mention break easily from reviews. The super expensive ones are just that. Super expensive. The only one that seems to be somewhat reasonable is the OXO Sprout chair. It’s $250.

Why is this so effing complicated??

Anyway, if you need me I’ll be over here shoveling this Greek Croissant Egg Casserole into my face. You guys. This casserole is the tits. Not only is it full of delicious spices, but croissants make the world a better place. I encourage you to buy the store-bought croissant….it’s just easier. You could also sub-in day old sourdough if you are on that train right now. 

Great casserole to serve for Mother’s Day as the family could assemble the night before. All they need to do is mix everything together, pour it into a baking dish, and slide it into the oven next morning. So easy!
