Eggs Benedict Bake with Bearnaise Sauce image

I've made this recipe for my family every Christmas morning for 10 years-it's a food tradition that we look forward to every year. Part of what makes this dish special is the croissants that make the egg bake extra light and fluffy. -Susan Triplett, Citrus Heights, California
