Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Cut your chocolate croissants into bite-sized pieces and arrange them in the greased baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissant pieces, ensuring they are fully saturated.
Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
