Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 6 large croissants, torn into chunks
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- Powdered sugar and maple syrup for serving
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange torn croissant pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Pour evenly over the croissants. Press down gently to ensure all pieces are soaked.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and flour. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this streusel topping evenly over the casserole.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
