Ingredients
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter. Set aside.
  2. Add the egg yolks, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt to a large bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Add croissant pieces to the egg mixture and toss to coat, making sure croissants are well-moistened. Stir in 3/4 of the chocolate chips.
  4. Pour mixture into prepared baking pan and top with remaining chocolate chips.
  5. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. If bake starts to brown too much, cover loosely with foil.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe adapted from Bread Booze and Bacon. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
