Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 6 large croissants
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Croissants: Tear or slice the croissants into bite-sized pieces and layer them evenly in a greased baking dish to create the base of the bread custard.
  2. Make the Custard Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine and Soak: Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the layered croissants, ensuring they are well soaked and all pieces absorb the custard.
  4. Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the soaked croissants for richness and to help create a golden crust during baking.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the croissant bread for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked croissant bread to cool slightly before serving warm as a decadent breakfast or brunch option.

Notes

  • Use day-old croissants for best texture, as they absorb the custard better.
  • Add cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a sprinkle of sugar to the custard for extra flavor.
  • Optional toppings include fresh berries, powdered sugar, or maple syrup.
  • Ensure the custard mixture fully soaks the croissants for a creamy texture.
  • You can prepare the croissant bread the night before and bake it fresh in the morning.
