Croissant French Toast

Ingredients

• 4 large croissants, halved horizontally, left out overnight
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup half-and-half
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
2. Whisk eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a shallow bowl. Dip each croissant half into egg mixture, one at a time, flipping it and lightly pressing down, until well coated.
3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add four croissant halves, cut-side down. Fry until browned on both sides, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining croissants.
4. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
