Decadent Almond Croissant Bake

Ingredients

- 6 large croissants
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Prepare the Croissants:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Tear the croissants into large chunks and scatter them evenly in the prepared dish.

2. Mix the Almond Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the slivered almonds, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.

3. Prepare the Custard:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

4. Assemble the Bake:
- Pour the custard evenly over the torn croissants. Press down gently to ensure the croissants soak up the custard.
- Evenly sprinkle the almond mixture over the top, pressing slightly to adhere.

5. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.

6. Finish and Serve:
- Remove the croissant bake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet finish.
