Pick soft, buttery croissants for that rich, flaky texture. They hold up well when baked and add a luxurious, bakery-style taste to your breakfast.
1. Use Buttery Croissant
Whisk eggs, milk, cream, cinnamon, and vanilla. This creamy blend soaks into the croissants and gives your baked french toast its rich, custardy flavor.
2. Make the Egg Mixture
Slice and soak your croissants in the egg mix. Let them absorb all the creamy goodness so the inside turns soft and the outside bakes up golden.
3. Soak the Croissants Well
Layer the soaked croissants in a baking dish. Overlap them slightly for a pretty, rustic look and even baking with a soft middle and crisp top.
4. Layer It Up in a Dish
Sprinkle with brown sugar or cinnamon sugar. This adds a light crunch and caramelized sweetness that pairs perfectly with the soft, fluffy texture.
5. Add a Sweet Topping
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 30–35 minutes. The croissants should puff slightly and turn golden brown with crispy edges.
6. Bake Until Golden
Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries. These extras make Fluffy Baked Croissant French Toast Delight even more irresistible.
