Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

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.
