For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of orange zest to the custard mixture. If you're preparing this bake ahead of time, assemble it up to the baking step and refrigerate overnight. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Day-old croissants work best for this recipe as they absorb the custard more readily. However, fresh croissants will also work; just be gentle when soaking them.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepWhisk the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. (5 minutes)
03
StepSoak the Croissants: Dip each croissant half into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully saturated. Allow excess to drip off slightly. (10 minutes)
04
StepArrange and Bake: Arrange the soaked croissants in the prepared baking dish, overlapping them as needed to fit snugly. Pour any remaining egg mixture evenly over the croissants. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake to Golden Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven until the croissants are golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
06
StepRest and Serve: Let the bake stand for 15 minutes before serving. This allows the custard to set slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with fresh berries and/or maple syrup. (15 minutes)
