Instructions
1-Getting this Chocolate Croissant French Toast just right is all about simple steps that lead to amazing results. Start by tearing those croissants into bite-sized pieces and placing them in an 8ร8-inch baking dish. Itโs a fun way to use up leftovers and turn them into something magical.
2-First, preheat your oven to 350ยฐF and mix the custard. Whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, ยผ cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this over the croissants in the dish, making sure everything gets coated evenly.
3-Next, sprinkle ยฝ cup of mini chocolate chips on top for that extra chocolatey surprise. Let the mixture soak for at least one hour or overnight in the fridge this step makes the flavors meld and the croissants extra tender. When youโre ready, bake it covered with foil for 40-45 minutes until itโs set and lightly golden.
4-Serve it warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar to make it even more irresistible. For more ideas on baking, explore our easy croissant recipes for variations that fit your routine.
