INGREDIENTS
6 croissants, halved lengthways (slightly stale work best)
3 eggs
6 ½ – 7 ounces cups whole milk
2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 Tablespoons maple syrup
fresh berries
METHOD
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the bottoms of six croissants in a baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Pour half the mixture over the croissants, add the tops, and pour on the rest. For a grown-up twist, add a splash of Baileys or rum to the mixture. Bake for 35-40 minutes, then serve with optional toppings like fresh berries, jam, flaked almonds, or Mascarpone cheese.
