After trying croissant French toast, you'll never go back to using bread! Soft, tender, and so buttery — it just melts in your mouth!!  I LOVE THIS SIMPLE RECIPE!

Croissant French Toast

4 large eggs

1/2 cup half and half

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

4 large croissants cut in half lengthwise

 

If you don’t have stale croissants, no worries just toast them in the oven on low heat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carefully slice each croissant in half and toast in the oven for 15 minutes at 200 degrees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whisk together the half and half, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and eggs in a shallow dish. Add the croissants and let soak for 2 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Flip the croissants and soak them in the custard mixture for another 2 minutes. Carefully remove the croissants from the custard mixture, letting much of the excess drip off. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place the croissants cut-side down on the griddle and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove and serve with butter and maple

NOTES

Butter. We need extra butter for frying the French toast in the pan. Use as much as you want.

Half and Half. When making custard, you need a high-fat dairy product. You can substitute heavy cream here too.  Whole milk will not give you that creamy texture.

For serving: fresh berries, whipped cream, and maple syrup.
