French Toast Croissant Casserole image

A delicious breakfast casserole that's easy to make a serves a crowd. I buy very flaky fresh authentic croissants from the bakery to make this dish. You could substitute brioche also for the croissants. You can also top with fresh strawberries macerated in sugar.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover croissants. It's also a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch dish. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

This casserole was okay. The croissants were a bit dry, but the custard was good. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This casserole was a disappointment. The croissants were tough and the custard was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I would not recommend this recipe.
