Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Croissant Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Slice day-old croissants into bite-sized pieces and layer them in the baking dish. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture over the croissants, gently pressing them to absorb the liquid.
Let the bake rest for 10-15 minutes for enhanced flavor and texture.
Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and set but still jiggly in the center.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and serve warm, adding toppings as desired.

Notes

Using day-old croissants helps them absorb the custard better. Customize chocolate types for variation and watch bake time closely to avoid dryness.
