Almond Croissant French Toast Loaf Bake
Yield: 6-8 Servings
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 3 Hours
- 9 almond or regular croissants (preferably stale)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ½ cup Nate’s 100% Pure Honey, plus more for drizzling
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup sliced almonds, optional
- Fresh berries, for serving
Directions
Grease a 6-8 cup baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Slice croissants in half with a serrated knife and arrange them in the pan, overlapping them slightly. Place a few halves on top to create a visually appealing layer. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until the honey is fully incorporated. Pour the mixture evenly over the sliced croissants, gently pressing down to help the croissants absorb the liquid. Sprinkle with sliced almonds (optional).
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for 50 minutes, covering with foil around the 30-minute mark to prevent the croissants and almonds from over-browning.
Remove from the oven and before serving, let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to finish cooking. Serve topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.
