French Toast … with Croissants!
After trying French toast made on croissants, regular French toast just won’t be the same. This croissant French toast is soft, tender, and the epitome of buttery perfection. That’s what happens when you start out with pastries made with a ton of butter and then cook the French toast in melted butter. Definitely a splurge breakfast or brunch, but so incredibly good. The French toast would be perfect on a holiday morning because it just feels and tastes more special than regular French toast but it’s so easy to make. Definitely easier, faster, more goof-proof than pancakes or waffles, and ready in 10 minutes. Topped with maple syrup, this is a breakfast of champions worth waking up for.

How to Make Croissant French Toast
Making French toast with croissants is very similar to making classic French toast. Here’s how the recipe comes together:
Toppings for Croissant French Toast
Top your delicious croissant bread french toast with one or more of the following:
Maple syrup Powdered sugar Fresh berries Strawberry or blueberry sauce Toasted chopped nuts (pecans would be extra delicious here!)
How to Keep French Toast Warm
If you’re making a large batch of homemade French toast, you can likely place cooked French toast on a baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven (175F) for up to 90 minutes.
Can You Freeze Croissant French Toast?
Yes, although fresh French toast is best in my opinion. To freeze, let the croissant halves cool completely, then seal inside a freezer bag for up to 3 months. You can reheat in the oven or in a toaster (if it’s large enough).
Tips for Making French Toast with Croissants
The yield can be easily scaled up or down depending on your needs. Day-old croissants work best for this recipe. Make sure to buy them from an actual bakery (I got mine from Panera). I garnished it with fresh strawberries, but use blueberries, raspberries, peaches, or whatever fruit is in season and you enjoy.
What to Serve with the French Toast
Serve your croissant French toast with one or more of the following:
Scrambled eggs Bacon (regular or air fryer bacon) Bacon and egg casserole Baked ham and cheese omelette Tropical fruit salad Sausage egg muffins
