Chocolate Croissant French Toast Recipe

Using croissants for french toast is so much better than bread. And it's baked so there's no standing over a hot stove flipping anything. Plus...it has chocolate!

Ingredients

  • 6 medium-large croissants (9.5 ounces/270g)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (237ml) milk
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (85g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Spray an 8x8” pan with cooking spray.
  • Rip or cut croissants into bite size pieces. Place your croissants in the pan in a single layer, squeezing them into fit so the entire pan is full.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a large measuring cup or bowl. Pour over the croissants. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Press gently to submerge all the croissants.
  • Let the mixture soak for 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate overnight. Occasionally press down to make sure all the croissants are submerged and absorb the custard mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove pan from refrigerator, remove the plate, and cover with foil. Bake for 40-45 minutes until set.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup or a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use any kind of milk (whole milk will be richer and more flavorful)
