Croissants Instead of Regular Bread?

Using flaky croissants instead of regular bread adds a touch of decadence to this breakfast treat. The combination of fluffy eggs, creamy milk, fragrant vanilla extract, and a hint of cinnamon creates a flavorful custard for soaking up those buttery croissants.

Cooking Tips

Make sure to let the croissant halves soak in the egg mixture for a few seconds to ensure they're fully coated and absorb all that delicious flavor. The sizzle of butter in the pan will create a crispy, golden crust on the outside while keeping the inside soft and pillowy. Once cooked to perfection, dust the croissant French toast with powdered sugar for a hint of sweetness and drizzle with maple syrup for that extra touch of indulgence. Serve up this delightful dish adorned with fresh strawberries and sliced bananas for a pop of color and fruity freshness. So, shake up your breakfast game and treat yourself to a morning meal that's sure to impress. Bon appétit!

Ingredients

  • 4 croissants, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Butter, for cooking
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup, banannas, and strawberries for topping

Directions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt some butter in the pan.
  3. Dip each croissant half into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides well.
  4. Place the croissants into the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  5. Repeat with remaining croissant halves, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
  6. Serve the croissant French toast hot, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup.
  7. Top the halves with strawberries and bananas if desired.
