Croissant French Toast

Had this at brunch in upstate New York and fell in love from first bite. I had never heard of it before nor seen a recipe, so had to try and record myself! Since croissants are naturally buttery, there is less need for butter or syrup as you would traditional French toast. Tastes especially great with either apricot pineapple jam or strawberries as shown.

Recipe Instructions

Step 2

Whisk eggs together in a bowl until smooth. Add half-and-half, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to eggs and whisk until frothy.

Step 3

Dunk croissants, 1 at a time, into egg mixture just until both sides are coated.

Step 4
