Croissant French Toast Bake
The Croissant French Toast Bake uses cubed croissants soaked in a custard mixture of eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, then baked until golden and set. The croissants provide a flaky, buttery base that absorbs the sweet and spiced custard, resulting in a soft, tender interior and a lightly crisped top. This casserole-style breakfast or brunch dish combines richness with comforting textures.
