Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 6 large croissants (preferably day old)

• 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup whole milk

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the Croissants: Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

3. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the croissant pieces.

4. Mix the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant and chocolate layers in the baking dish.

6. Soak the Croissants: Gently press down on the croissant pieces to ensure they soak up the egg mixture.

7. Let it Rest: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.

8. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

9. Cool and Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
