Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pint fresh blackberries
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
8 croissants (a rounder shape is best)
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 large eggs
Butter, for frying and serving
Warm maple syrup, for serving
Strawberries, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the blackberry syrup: In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes on low. Stir in the cornstarch, then continue cooking, using a whisk or spoon to mash the larger pieces of blackberries. Remove from the heat when it's nice and thick.
  • For the croissant French toast: Split the croissants in half through the middle.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs. Dunk each croissant half into the mixture so that it's fully coated. Set the pieces aside on a plate.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat, then melt a small amount of butter in it. Add as many croissant halves as will fit, cut-side down, then increase the heat very slightly (don't go above medium low). Allow the pieces to cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes. Move them around in the skillet a bit to make sure they don't burn. When they're deep golden brown on the bottom, flip them to the other side and let them cook for another 2 minutes or so. Remove from the pan and cook the rest of the croissant halves.
  • Serve a top and bottom piece together with butter, warm blackberry syrup and maple syrup, strawberries and whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use day-old croissants for the best results. This will help the croissants to soak up the egg mixture and custard without becoming soggy.
  • If you don't have any day-old croissants, you can make your own. Just follow a simple croissant recipe and bake them according to the instructions.
  • Don't overmix the egg mixture. Overmixing can make the French toast tough.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the baking dish. If the croissants are too close together, they won't cook evenly.
  • Bake the French toast until it is golden brown and cooked through. Check the center of the croissants to make sure they are cooked through before serving.
  • Serve the French toast with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, and powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Croissant baked French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for special occasions or for a lazy weekend morning.
