Croissant French Toast
Get ready to jazz up your breakfast routine with this delightful twist on a classic favorite: Croissant French Toast!
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!
