Description

A delectable Croissant Breakfast Bake featuring day-old croissants soaked in a rich custard with semi-sweet chocolate chips, baked to golden perfection for a warm and comforting morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Breakfast Bake Ingredients

  • 5 large day-old croissants, 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent the bake from sticking.
  2. Layer Croissants and Chocolate: Evenly spread the croissant pieces in the baking dish, then sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the croissants to create a delicious chocolate layer.
  3. Make Custard Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating the custard base for the bake.
  4. Combine Custard and Croissants: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and chocolate chips in the baking dish. Gently press down on the croissants to help them absorb the custard fully.
  5. Soak: Allow the mixture to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting period helps the croissants soak up the flavorful custard, ensuring a moist, tender bake.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and set. If the surface starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bake cool slightly before serving. For extra indulgence, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries if desired.

Notes

  • Use day-old croissants for better absorption of the custard.
  • If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  • Optional garnishes include powdered sugar and fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
  • Letting the bake rest before serving helps it set and enhances flavors.
