Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Whisk eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a shallow bowl. Dip each croissant half into egg mixture, one at a time, flipping it and lightly pressing down, until well coated.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add four croissant halves, cut-side down. Fry until browned on both sides, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining croissants.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
It's important that the croissants are dry before dipping. As an alternative to leaving the croissants sit out overnight, you can place the sliced croissants on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven at 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) until dry, 12 to 15 minutes.
Feel free to substitute almond milk or low-fat milk for the half and half.
Other topping suggestions are powdered sugar, chopped nuts, cinnamon-sugar, blueberry or strawberry syrup, and whipped cream.
