Ingredients
- 6 medium croissants (one 9.5 ounce/270g package)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (237ml) milk (any kind)
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (85g) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray an 8x8” pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Tear or chop 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 in pan.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Press gently to submerge all the croissants under the egg mixture.
- Allow the croissant mixture to soak for at least one hour. Occasionally press down on the croissants so they soak up all the egg mixture. You can also cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Serve warm. The chocolate makes these super rich - syrup optional!
Notes
- If you refrigerate overnight, allow the mixture to come to room temperature while you preheat the oven.
