Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of flaky croissants (about 6-8 croissants)
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate chunks
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of whole milk or heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the croissant pieces, ensuring every bite will be filled with luscious chocolate goodness.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the croissants and chocolate, making sure all pieces are soaked.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. For an extra crispy top, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully.
- Let the bake cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries. For dairy-free options, consider swapping heavy cream with coconut milk.
Notes
- For an even richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate or add a handful of nuts for crunch.
- To make ahead, assemble the bake the night before and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh in the morning for best results.
- If you prefer a sweeter crust, brush the top with a little melted butter and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
