My best friend and son's godfather introduced me to this recipe. It is a perfect holiday or Sunday brunch menu addition. It is easy to make and has a rich taste, so you can't help but feel a little fancy while eating it. We recently enjoyed this at a special family occasion, and now it is a favorite. I like to bake it, but it can also be made in a stovetop skillet. -Amanda Wilson, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

CROISSANT FRENCH TOAST

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.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 1 casserole, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 -10 stale plain croissants
6 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 ounces cream cheese
4 tablespoons strawberry jam
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 350°F.
  • Slice croissants in half, spread insides with cream cheese and place about a rounded teaspoon of strawberry jam on top, place tops on croissants in sandwich fashion and arrange them in baking dish.
  • Beat eggs, add sugar, mil, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, beat till well combined, pour mixture over croissants, use a plate to hold the croissants down and keep them from rising to the top, to allow them to soak in the milk and egg mixture, allow to set for about 5 minutes.
  • Bake in a 350 F oven for about 30 to 35 minutes. They will fluff up and the casserole will have a custardy french toast consistency.
  • Serve with your favorite Syrup and Breakfast meat.

Tips:

  • Use stale croissants: Stale croissants are ideal for this recipe because they absorb the custard mixture better and create a more stable casserole.
  • Make the custard mixture ahead of time: The custard mixture can be made up to 24 hours in advance, making this a great option for a brunch or breakfast party.
  • Don't overmix the custard: Overmixing the custard will make it tough. Stir just until the eggs and milk are combined.
  • Use a variety of toppings: This casserole is a great way to use up leftover fruit, nuts, and chocolate chips. Get creative and try different combinations.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown: The casserole is done baking when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

French Toast Croissant Casserole is an easy and delicious breakfast or brunch recipe. It's perfect for a crowd and can be made ahead of time. With its combination of croissants, custard, and your favorite toppings, this casserole is sure to be a hit.
