This Breakfast Pastry Makes the Best French Toast (So Crispy!)

I love all kinds of French toast, from the So, what was the tasty base for this French toast that got rave reviews? Croissants! These classic French pastries, with their flaky layers, cook up into crispy French toast with buttery flavor in each bite. The process for croissant French toast is no different than with regular French toast, but the result is just a little bit more luxe and special with no extra effort. Here's how to make the Frenchiest French toast ever. Why You'll Love It So crispy. As the outside of the croissants cook, it gets nice and crispy (crispier than regular French toast). Croissants make it special. Using croissants gives this French toast an extra-buttery flavor and makes it a touch more special without any extra work. Key Ingredients in Croissant French Toast Croissants: Skip the fancy, pricier bakery croissants and use grocery store croissants (especially day-old) instead. I recommend the larger croissants that are sometimes labeled jumbo. Dairy: Use whole milk or half-and-half for the custard and skip the cream, which is too rich when soaked into buttery croissants. You'll also need two pats of butter for cooking the French toast. Eggs: I like the ratio of 1 large egg for every 1/2 cup of dairy in the custard, so you'll need 3 of them here. Brown sugar: Just a tablespoon adds a little sweetness to the custard and helps with browning during cooking. Storage Tip Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days. Reheat in a 300-degree oven until warmed through, 8 to 10 minutes. Topping Ideas While maple syrup is a perfect fit for topping croissant French toast, whipped cream and fresh berries also work well. You can skip the butter, as the croissants are already buttery! What to Serve With Croissant French Toast
