Chocolate Croissant French Toast

By Addie

From time to time, we have stuffed French toast made from rich buttery brioche. One Father's Day when I wanted to make it for my husband, the store was out of brioche, so I tried croissants instead. They turned out to be even simpler to use.

Ingredients

• 2 unsliced croissants
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup milk
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Cut a slit into the side of each croissant; fill with about 2 tablespoons chocolate chips. In a shallow bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon; whisk in milk until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, cream and vanilla.

Dip croissants into egg mixture. Place in two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Bake at 400° for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

REVIEWS:

This is a great recipe. My husband and children love it. I only made it on special occasions. I use small croissants.

Cook just a bit longer to avoid sogginess. It was a hit for my fam!!!

Added fresh raspberries after they were done baking and sprinkles with powdered sugar - YUM! You can omit the stuff you dip it in if you want a different taste that is quicker to make :)
