For best results, use croissants that are a day old. Stale croissants absorb the egg mixture better and prevent the French toast from becoming soggy. Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook the croissant halves in batches to ensure even browning. For a richer flavor, try using brioche bread instead of croissants. If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute with whole milk or a mixture of milk and heavy cream.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). This will keep the cooked croissants warm and crisp. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until well combined. (2 minutes)
03
StepDip each croissant half into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly soaked. Allow the croissant to sit in the mixture for a few seconds to absorb the liquid. (5 minutes)
04
StepMelt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. (2 minutes)
05
StepCarefully place the soaked croissant halves in the skillet, cut-side down. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crisp. (6-8 minutes)
06
StepTransfer the cooked croissant French toast to the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining croissants. (1 minute)
07
StepServe immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
