Cómo preparar French Toast Croissant Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
- Cut 10 croissants into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
- Gently fold the croissant pieces into the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours).
- Toast ½ cup pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside.
- Pour the croissant mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with toasted pecans.
- Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of diced cold butter.
- Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- To make warm maple syrup: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of water to a boil. Remove from heat and place a bottle of maple syrup in the hot water for 15 minutes to warm.
- Serve warm, drizzled with warm maple syrup, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with fresh strawberries macerated in sugar (see optional topping instructions below).
