Ingredients
- 6–8 large plain croissants (day-old preferred)
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170g) good quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips/chunks
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Prep the Croissants: Slice croissants in half horizontally. Arrange bottom halves in a buttered 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle half the chocolate evenly. Place top halves over chocolate, then scatter remaining chocolate over tops.
- Whisk the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk eggs until combined. Whisk in milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Assemble the Bake: Pour custard evenly over croissants in the baking dish. Gently press down to saturate. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush melted butter over croissant tops. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown, puffed, and custard is set. Rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
