Print Recipe

If you’re looking for a croissant breakfast bake that’s buttery, chocolatey, and absolutely irresistible, this Chocolate Croissant Breakfast Bake is the perfect recipe!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 large croissants, torn into pieces

  • 1 ½ cups milk (whole or 2%)

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • Powdered sugar (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Baking Dish

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2: Arrange the Croissants

  1. Tear the croissants into large chunks and spread them evenly in the baking dish.

  2. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the croissants.

Step 3: Make the Custard Mixture

  1. In a bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.

  2. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants, pressing down slightly to soak.

Step 4: Bake & Serve

  1. Drizzle the melted butter over the top.

  2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and set.

  3. Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use day-old croissants – Slightly stale croissants absorb the custard better.

  • Don’t overbake – The center should be set but still soft.

  • For extra richness – Swap half the milk for more heavy cream.
