Aldi Croissant Bread French toast

Prepare the custard: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Soak the bread: Dip each slice of croissant toast or croissant half into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated but not overly saturated. Cook the French toast: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the coated croissants in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Top with your desired garnishes like warm maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit. Tips for Success: Use the right bread: The Specially Selected Croissant Toast is thick-sliced and designed for this purpose, soaking up the custard well while maintaining its texture. Aldi's brioche bread is another excellent alternative. Don't over-soak: Croissant bread is delicate. A quick dip on each side is enough to absorb the flavor without the bread becoming soggy. Add toppings: Consider adding caramelized apples or a homemade strawberry spread using other fresh Aldi ingredients to elevate your dish. Make it a bake: If you have extra bread or are feeding a crowd, cut the croissant bread into cubes and make an overnight French toast casserole or bake for an easy brunch option.
