Ingredients
- 8 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream (thickened cream)
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 medium-sized croissants (about 1 ¼ pound | 570 g) -- one day old croissants are best.
- ⅓ cup Canadian maple syrup
- ¼ cup butter thinly sliced
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon to dust
- 1 pinch vanilla sugar to dust
- 1 pinch powdered sugar ice cream, maple syrup, fruit, to serve
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch-baking dish with nonstick cooking oil spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
- Halve croissants horizontally (like a sandwich). Arrange the bottom slices in the base of your dish.
- Pour over half of the egg mixture. Drizzle with maple syrup.
- Add the remaining croissants over the top and pour remaining egg mixture over the croissants. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight.
- When ready to bake, remove baking dish from the refrigerator and let stand for at least 30 minutes to get the chill out.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (175°C).
- Top croissants with thinly sliced butter and dust with cinnamon and vanillin sugar.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until croissants are golden. If the tops of the croissants begin to brown too quickly, tent dish loosely with foil.
- Serve croissant french toasts warm with powdered sugar, ice cream, maple syrup and fruit (if you desire).
Notes
- You can also serve your fresh toast with a dollop of whipped cream and some crispy bacon for a sweet-savory twist!
