Croissant French Toast Bake

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Easy Croissant French Toast Casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning! Impress your family with a decadent breakfast.

There’s no better way to serve Croissants. Buttery, flaky croissants soak up a full flavoured egg wash to give you perfect, soft-in-the-middle croissant French Toast with a crispy golden crust. The best of both worlds!

Incredibly easy, this may just be better than regular French toast. Let your oven do all the work for you!

CROISSANT FRENCH TOAST RECIPE

When you’re craving a good French toast but want something different… this is it. Of course, you could go a French Toast Casserole using regular bread, BUT this is just a whole level up from that.

If we have anything in common, well, Croissants are everything. In something like this though, they are even better.

Almost like a bread pudding, this is a croissant French toast recipe that is so easy for you to throw together without having to stand at the stove looking after French toast, flipping and maybe/almost burning your breakfast because Mimosas may or may not be going down.

  • Pour half of the egg wash over the croissant halves.
  • Drizzle with real (pure) Canadian maple syrup.
  • Top with remaining croissants.
  • Pour remaining egg wash over croissants.
  • Lightly press them in the egg wash to soak them completely.

    French toast made with croissants, brilliant. The New Year’s morning breakfast in the making. I’ll make it the morning of the 31st for the 1st. My croissants that I’ll buy today when I do my Christmas run won’t be 12 days old. Does that matter?
