Ingredients

• 4 large croissants
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups strawberries
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the croissants in half lengthwise and set them aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to melt.

Step 4

Dip each croissant half into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated, but do not let them soak too long to prevent sogginess.

Step 5

Place the coated croissant halves onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining croissants, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.

Step 6

While the croissants cook, prepare the strawberries by washing, hulling, and slicing them. Toss the sliced strawberries with powdered sugar for added sweetness.

Step 7

To serve, stack two croissant halves (bottom and top) on a plate. Top with a generous serving of the sugared strawberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent breakfast!
