It is best if the croissants you use to make it are at least a day or two old. (I actually like to buy them by the dozen; use some of them immediately, and then freeze the remaining ones to use for this recipe in the future.)
Croissant French Toast
- 4 large croissants, split in half, lengthwise
Ingredients for a delicious Valentine's breakfast!
- 4 large eggs
- 2 TBSP butter
- 2 cups fresh fruit of choice
- (Strawberries, peaches, nectarines, or raspberries)
- 4 TBSP preserves of choice
- (Strawberry, apricot, orange marmalade, or raspberry)
Garnish
- Whipped light cream
- Powdered sugar
Coat the croissants into the beaten egg.
Heat non-stick skillet over medium heat and add about half the butter. In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs. Place the tops and bottoms from two of the croissants into the beaten egg, coating entirely, then place them in the skillet.
Cook until they are browned on both sides
Allow to cook until they start to brown around the edges, then flip them over and allow the other side to brown. Remove from the pan and cook the other two croissants in the same manner with the remaining butter.
A great way to begin your Valentine's Day!
To serve, spread the bottom half of each croissant with the preserves (1 TBSP on each), then top with the fresh fruit and the top of the croissant. Garnish with powdered sugar and whipped cream.
