Croissant French Toast


We are a firm believer in brinner. Usually once a week, one of our dinners is planned out to be omelets, pancakes, a breakfast casserole, or french toast. French toast is definitely one that we come back to very often - mostly because we almost always have all the ingredients for it (bread, eggs, milk, etc). It's also super cheap to make! Talk about a super-inexpensive and easy way to get dinner on the table, and fast. However, I always, against my husband's raised eyebrow, try to serve a green smoothie along with it to my boys; because, veggies always, always, always need to happen (especially at dinnertime). A little bit of bacon, shredded fresh hash browns, or a veggie scramble, would go lovely next to these lovely buttery bites of heaven, too. 

So why croissants? Well... 

I usually buy two large loaves of bread at Costco every two weeks. Sometimes every three, depending on how quickly the boys go through them. But a couple weeks ago, I found myself on a Thursday night (night before grocery day on Friday morning), without any bread in the pantry or waiting to be thawed from the freezer. Dang it! Drives me crazy when that happens! I did, however have some croissants leftover from when I made these amazing BLT Egg Salad Sandwiches. Instead of rushing to the store for some bread, I decided to use up what we already have, and make those buttery layers of croissant goodness into french toast. GUYS, oh man. It was amazing!
