Description
Indulgent, buttery, and incredibly easy to prep! This Chocolate Croissant Breakfast Bake transforms simple pastries into an unforgettable, effortless masterpiece.
Ingredients
6 large croissants, torn into pieces
1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 large eggs
1 cup (240ml) whole milk
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
1/3 cup (67g) sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread torn croissant pieces inside. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the croissants.
Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
Pour the custard mixture over the croissants, pressing down gently to ensure they soak up the liquid.
Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the croissants to fully absorb the custard. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set with a slight jiggle.
Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
Notes
Use day-old croissants for the best absorption of the custard.
Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for a beautiful finish.
Can be assembled the night before and refrigerated. Add 5-10 minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
