Ingredients
- 4 large croissants, halved horizontally, left out overnight
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Step 2
Whisk eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a shallow bowl. Dip each croissant half into the egg mixture, one at a time, flipping it and lightly pressing down, until well coated.
Step 3
Melt the 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.
Step 4
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Cook’s Note:
It's important that the croissants are dry before dipping. As an alternative to leaving the croissants sit out overnight, you can place the sliced croissants on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven at 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) until dry, 12 to 15 minutes.
