Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 8 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups whole milk (or eggnog)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 20–24 mini croissants
- 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- whipped cream, fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, maple syrup, and melted butter. Pour the mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or eggnog), vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Dunk each croissant into the egg mixture, allowing the croissant to sit for a minute and soak up the eggs. Arrange them evenly in the prepared baking dish, as best you can. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the croissants.
Cover and place in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375° F. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the French toast. Bake for 40 minutes or until the French toast is golden and crisp. If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil
Serve the French toast warm, topped with whipped cream , and berries. Enjoy!
