Sometimes when I come out of our one air conditioned room, I look around for the heater because there absolutely has to be a heater on in here somewhere. A broken heater that is about to explode with red hot lava. But this Cebuano heat is all natural, kids. Alllll natural goodness. Here’s the real story behind the Croissant French Toast. Before we left for the Philippines, during our last week of packing, I was living in a completely empty kitchen. Technically it was more like dying a slow and painful and foodless death, but whatever. Our kitchen in Minnesota was completely cleared out with the exception of about 8 food items and a few paper plates. One of those food items was a bag of Chipotle chips, and oh, what I wouldn’t give for a burrito bol right now. Not relevant. I made this Baked Croissant Cinnamon French Toast on our last Saturday morning at home (cue nostalgia). As I mentioned, I had virtually no food in the house, but by God’s grace I did have stale croissants. And eggs. And milk. And cinnamon. Hello gorgeous. The soft, buttery croissants baked up perfectly, and how do I even begin to describe the topping? Cinnamon sugary? Lightly crunchy? Life changing? Drizzle some syrup over the whole thing and… and… I can’t even talk about it. I am so excited for you to make this. Good news: I am going to attempt to do some Filipino home cooking this week, starting with Chicken Adobo. Yummy! 4.9 from 26 reviews Bad news: When I bought the chicken at the grocery store, surprise! The guy at the meat counter bagged it up with his bare hands. Good news: I asked for 2 bags to make it extra clean. Er, um, what?
