Ingredients

• 4 Large croissants (preferably a day old)
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for cooking)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt completely.

Step 4

Dip the croissant halves, one at a time, into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly soaked.

Step 5

Place the coated croissant halves onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary, adding the remaining butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked croissants to a plate and keep warm while finishing the rest.

Step 7

Serve the croissant French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar. Add a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh berries, if desired.
