After trying croissant French toast, you'll never go back to using bread! Soft, tender, and so buttery — it just melts in your mouth!!

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or half-and-half I used unsweetened cashewmilk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 large bakery-style croissants sliced in half horizontally (I got mine from Panera; if they’re day-old even better)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • strawberries for garnishing (blueberries, raspberries, peaches, etc. may be substituted)
  • maple syrup for serving (confectioners’ sugar may be substituted)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and whisk to combine.
  2. Add the croissant halves, one at a time, to the egg mixture. Submerge for 10 to 15 seconds, flipping once.
  3. Place coated halves in a large non-stick skillet with about 2 tablespoons melted butter with the cut side down. Cook for about 3 minutes over medium heat, flip, and cook for about 2 minutes on the second side, or until French toast is as browned as desired.
  4. Repeat battering and cooking process and adding more butter as necessary (my skillet only fits 3 halves at once).
  5. Place cooked French toast on a plate, garnish with strawberries, and drizzle with maple syrup as desired. French toast is best warm and fresh.

Notes

  • Tip: If you’re making a large batch or for an event, you can likely place cooked French toast on a baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven (175F) for up to about 90 minutes. However, I haven’t personally tried it with this French toast, but have successfully done this with pancakes and waffles.
