Croissant French Toast Bake

Directions

Prep:15 mCook:30 mReady:1 h

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
Dip each croissant half in the egg mixture until fully soaked.
Arrange dipped croissants in the prepared baking dish, overlapping as needed. Pour any remaining egg mixture over croissants.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Serve with desired toppings.
