French toast is a breakfast classic in America. Although its typically made with thick challah bread, there are so many other breads to experiment with. This croissant french toast changes the breakfast game to make it using croissants.
Switching up the bread and using croissants creates the perfect opportunity to sandwich the two halves of the croissant with all sorts of additions. Bananas, strawberries, and whipped cream were used in this variation.
You could go crazy and spread one layer with Nutella, melted chocolate, or peanut butter, top that with fruit, and then place the other half of the croissant over it.
Pour on some syrup and this breakfast tops all others. You could even go savory with cheese and spices.

Dip croissant halves into mixture.
Place on a medium-sized skillet over low heat. Fry on each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden.
Stuff french toast with desired toppings, and top with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
