Description

This indulgent breakfast casserole combines buttery croissants, creamy custard, and rich chocolate for a decadent treat that’s perfect for brunch, holidays, or a cozy weekend morning.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 200 g (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 4 large eggs
  • 400 ml (1 2/3 cups) whole milk
  • 200 ml (3/4 cup) heavy cream
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Optional: whipped cream or fresh berries for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dish:
    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or an equivalent-sized casserole dish.
  2. Assemble the Croissants:
    • Place the torn croissant pieces evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate over the croissants, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  3. Make the Custard:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Combine the Layers:
    • Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and chocolate. Gently press down with the back of a spoon to ensure the croissants soak up the custard. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb.
  5. Bake:
    • Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center.
  6. Serve:
    • Allow the bake to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm with whipped cream or fresh berries if desired.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle sliced almonds or hazelnuts over the top before baking.
  • This dish can be prepped the night before and refrigerated. Bake directly from the fridge, adding 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Substitute dark chocolate or milk chocolate to suit your taste.
