How is the Peaches and Cream Croissant French Toast Bake Made?
- Croissants: Day old croissants work best for this recipe because they hold the liquid much better. You can also toast the croissants for about 5 minutes on 350 to get them to dry out a bit. Cut the croissants in half length wise then ripped pieces apart.
- Custard: The base of this recipe starts out with a cinnamon custard. Eggs, sugar, milk , cinnamon and nutmeg come together to make this french toast amazing.
- Peach Preserves: I used the Smuckers Peach Preserves, but you can certainly use store brand or whatever you have on hand.
- Cream Cheese: Cut into small chunks to ensure that you can get a good bite size piece with each serving.
What type of croissants can I use?
For this recipe, I used the croissants I found in my grocers bakery. I used the mini croissants but you can certainly use the large croissants and just cut them up into smaller pieces. I had about 12 mini croissants, so if using the large size, I would recommend 7-8 croissants.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can certainly prep this entire casserole the night prior. Simply put all of your ingredients in the casserole dish greased with butter, then cover tightly with plastic wrap. When ready to bake the next morning, simply pull the plastic wrap off, and bake for 50-55 minutes.
How long will the Peaches and Cream Croissant French Toast Bake last?
Hopefully you won’t need to worry about leftovers because everyone would’ve gobbled it all up. But if not, simply place in the fridge in a airtight Tupperware. Eat within 1-2 days.
How many servings does this make?
This recipe will yield about 8 servings so this perfect to take to your next brunch!
