Overnight Baked Croissant French Toast

By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 6 large croissants, a few days stale
• 6 eggs
• 1-1/2 cup milk or cream (I use cream)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoon vanilla extract
• cinnamon or nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Grease a small baking pan with butter (I just used a small loaf pan). Tear the croissants into small pieces and place in the dish.

Whisk the eggs, milk/cream, sugar, and vanilla. Pour evenly over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight in the fridge (or for a few hours if you are short on time).


When you’re ready to eat, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle nutmeg over the top of the croissant/egg mixture in the pan. Bake for 30-45 minutes depending on how soft/crispy you want it to be. Make sure the french toast is fully cooked before you remove it from the oven – usually the top looks done before the inside is really done.

Top with butter and drizzle with maple syrup.
