Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cut the croissants into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant cubes in the baking dish.
  4. Gently press down the croissants to ensure they are submerged in the custard.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the bake is puffed up, golden brown, and set in the center.
  8. Let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Using day-old croissants is key for the best texture.
  • You can add fruit like berries or apples to the bake before refrigerating.
  • Adjust the sugar to your preference.
