Baked Croissant And Amaretto French Toast Recipes

BAKED CROISSANT AND AMARETTO FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Grease a 9x9 baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Tear the croissants apart into pieces and put in the prepared dish.
• In a large bowl whisk the eggs, milk, yogurt, sugar, amaretto and vanilla. Pour evenly over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight in the fridge.
• For the cinnamon sugar topping, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut the cold butter in with a pastry cutter or just use your fingers until the mixture looks crumbly.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Before baking, sprinkle crumb mixture over the top of the croissant/egg mixture in the pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes depending on how crispy you want it to be. I like mine to be on the crispier side so I bake mine for the full 45 min!
• Serve with warm maple syrup and enjoy!
