Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large croissants, sliced into thirds
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk or heavy cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Spread the sliced croissants evenly in the dish. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the croissants to distribute chocolate evenly.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (or heavy cream), sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and chocolate layers, ensuring each piece is soaked with the custard.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and custard is set. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or day-old croissants for best texture and flavor.
- Substitute heavy cream for milk for a richer taste.
- Add crushed nuts or a dash of cinnamon before baking for extra flavor.
