- 4 large croissants preferably a day old
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Butter for frying
- Maple syrup and powdered sugar for serving
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
Slice Croissants: Halve the croissants lengthwise for even soaking.
Soak Croissants: Dip each croissant half into the batter, ensuring it absorbs the mixture but doesn’t become overly soggy.
Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Cook the soaked croissants for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Transfer to plates and top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit if desired.
Pro Tips
Use slightly stale croissants for better batter absorption without becoming mushy.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter for a warm, aromatic flavor.
Serve with whipped cream or a dollop of yogurt for an indulgent touch.
