Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large croissants, cut into pieces Stale croissants work best for soaking.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk Can use plant-based milk for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for serving For dusting on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
  2. Layer the croissant pieces in the baking dish and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the croissants, ensuring they’re well soaked.
  5. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and the egg is set.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  8. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar.

Notes

Letting the dish rest before serving helps avoid molten chocolate disasters. Can be paired with fresh berries or a scoop of ice cream.
