Time 16m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pint fresh blackberries
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
8 croissants (a rounder shape is best)
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 large eggs
Butter, for frying and serving
Warm maple syrup, for serving
Strawberries, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the blackberry syrup: In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes on low. Stir in the cornstarch, then continue cooking, using a whisk or spoon to mash the larger pieces of blackberries. Remove from the heat when it's nice and thick.
  • For the croissant French toast: Split the croissants in half through the middle.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs. Dunk each croissant half into the mixture so that it's fully coated. Set the pieces aside on a plate.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat, then melt a small amount of butter in it. Add as many croissant halves as will fit, cut-side down, then increase the heat very slightly (don't go above medium low). Allow the pieces to cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes. Move them around in the skillet a bit to make sure they don't burn. When they're deep golden brown on the bottom, flip them to the other side and let them cook for another 2 minutes or so. Remove from the pan and cook the rest of the croissant halves.
  • Serve a top and bottom piece together with butter, warm blackberry syrup and maple syrup, strawberries and whipped cream.

More like a scrumptious dessert than a main dish, this rich French toast is topped with a tangy raspberry sauce and a vanilla sauce that includes ice cream. I cut the croissants into shapes with a cookie cutter for my 4-year-old grandson, Patrick. He even asks for the "ice cream sauce" on pancakes! -June Dickenson Philippi, West Virginia
