Description
Imagine waking up to the enticing aroma of buttery croissants turning golden brown on a griddle, transforming into a luxurious French toast. This recipe elevates the humble breakfast to a gourmet experience with rich, vanilla-infused custard-soaked croissants, lightly crisped to perfection and served with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries. It’s not just a meal; it’s a morning retreat that delights the senses and starts your day with a touch of indulgence.
Ingredients
4 Croissants, preferably day old
4 large Eggs
1 cup Milk (preferably whole milk)
1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
Butter, for greasing the pan
Fresh berries, whipped cream, and maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
If the croissants aren’t already sliced open lengthwise, slice them open.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt and whisk until combined.
Pour the custard into a 9×13 baking dish. Add the croissant halves in a single layer and let them soak in the mixture for one minute. Gently turn the croissants to soak the other side.
Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan to low-medium heat. When the griddle is hot, grease the surface generously with butter.
Working with one croissant at a time, remove it from the custard, letting excess drip off. Cook the croissants on both sides until golden brown, pressing down gently as they cook. It should take 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Serve warm with fresh berries, whipped cream, and / or maple syrup.
