How to make croissant French toast bake
Be sure to see the recipe card below for full ingredients & instructions!
- Heat the frozen berries with the agave.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and salt.
- Toss the croissants in the egg mix.
- Place in a baking dish and top with the berries and mozzarella.
- Bake until golden and crisp.
Can you make it ahead of time?
The French Toast can be prepared a night in advance. After you toss croissants in egg mixture, top with berries and mozzarella. Cover with aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator until next morning when ready to bake.
How long will it keep?
This bake is best served as soon as it’s made so that the top is nice and crispy. Leftovers will keep covered in the fridge for 2 to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven.
Can you use fresh berries?
I used frozen berries in this recipe as I always have some in my freezer. You can totally use fresh if you have those, just stir them into the agave before adding them to the croissants. You can use any berries you like or other fruits like banana or apple.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- I used almond milk in this French toast bake, but you can use dairy milk or other plant based milk like soy, oat or coconut.
- This makes for a delicious brunch, but you could also serve it as a dessert with scoops of ice cream.
- Bake in a pre heated oven so that it cooks evenly through.
