Description

Serve this croissant French toast flavored with vanilla and cinnamon with your favorite toppings for an easy but impressive holiday breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

4 large croissants, halved horizontally, left out overnight
3 large eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
2 Whisk eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a shallow bowl. Dip each croissant half into egg mixture, one at a time, flipping it and lightly pressing down, until well coated.
3 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add four croissant halves, cut-side down. Fry until browned on both sides, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining croissants.
4 Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
