Now, let’s talk about the star of the show – croissants. Yes, you heard it right! French toast made with croissants takes this casserole to a whole new level of gourmet goodness.

Let’s not forget about the Ingredients:

– Croissants |
– Eggs |
– Milk |
– Heavy whipping cream |
– Vanilla extract |
– Granulated white sugar |
– Cinnamon |
– Powdered sugar for the top (optional)|

This casserole gets even better with fresh berries, homemade whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Just imagine the symphony of flavors and the burst of vibrant colors on your plate. It’s like a fashion show on your breakfast table – a true feast for the senses.

Now, for the directions – it’s as easy as ABC:

1. Cube the bread. You can even slice off the croissant tops for that awe-inspiring visual presentation. It’s like creating a work of edible art.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon. This is where the magic happens, folks! The decadent mixture coats every single cube of bread, creating that luscious interior.
3. Grease or butter your chosen pan – an 8×11 pan is perfect. It’s like dressing up your casserole in its finest outfit, ensuring it bakes to perfection.
4. Add the mixture to the prepared pan. It’s like laying down a plush carpet for your casserole to rest and rise.
5. Cover it with aluminum foil and let it bake in the oven. As it bakes, the tantalizing aroma wafts through your kitchen, creating an atmosphere of anticipation.
6. After 20 minutes, uncover the foil and let it bake for another golden 20 minutes. Your casserole is now on stage, ready to shine with its perfectly balanced textures and heavenly flavors.
7. Allow it to cool before cutting. Just like a supermodel needs to strut their stuff on the runway, your casserole needs a moment to cool down and compose itself.
8. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the top before serving. It’s like adding a dash of stardust, turning your creation into a breakfast masterpiece.

Here are a few tips and substitutions for you to play with:

• While croissants are the superstar, don’t be afraid to experiment with other breads. Sourdough or French bread would be equally delightful. It’s like choosing different outfits for your casserole, giving it a whole new personality.
• If your bread is super fresh, lightly toast it or let it sit out overnight. You want it to be slightly on the stale side, allowing it to absorb the egg and milk mixture like a true sponge.
