Overnight Croissant French Toast

This overnight croissant french toast will be a welcomed way to start off your Christmas morning. It gets assembled the night before. Then all you need to do in the morning is bake it.

Store bought croissants make amazing French toast. Check out the day old section at your local grocery store to make this. Those stale croissants work great and can save you some cash.

The batter for this French toast is made with eggs and half and half along with some vanilla, cinnamon, orange zest and maple syrup. The little bit of maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness to this.

The orange zest is a welcomed addition to this French toast. It adds amazing flavor along with a level of freshness. It pairs perfectly with the fresh berries you top this with.

You serve this croissant French toast up with some fresh berries, whipped cream, and a little maple syrup. If you can’t get fresh berries, frozen berries with work just fine.
