Ingredients

  • 5 large croissants preferably day-old, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar fresh berries, or whipped cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread croissant pieces evenly in the dish, sprinkling chocolate chips between layers.
  • In a large bowl, whisk milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth, then pour evenly over the croissants.
  • Press gently so the custard soaks through and let sit 10–15 minutes.
  • Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes until golden and set but soft in the center, covering loosely if it browns too fast.
  • Cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm with whipped cream or fresh berries.
