Ingredients You’ll Need

4 large croissants
3 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
Optional toppings: fresh berries, powdered sugar, maple syrup

How to Make Croissant Toast

Prepare the Croissants: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the croissants in half horizontally.
Mix the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Soak the Croissants: Dip each croissant half into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated but not soggy.
Cook the Toast: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the soaked croissant halves in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Bake to Perfection: Transfer the croissant halves to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked through.
Serve: Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Variations and Tips

Sweet Variations: Add chocolate chips or spread a layer of Nutella before baking for a sweet twist.
Savory Options: For a savory version, omit the sugar and vanilla extract, and add cheese and ham.
Tips for Best Results: Use day-old croissants for the best texture, and be careful not to oversoak them in the batter to prevent sogginess.

How to Store Croissant Toast

Refrigeration: Store any leftover croissant toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster for the best results.
Freezing: You can also freeze the cooked croissant toast. Wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven.
