Croissant Baked French Toast
My best friend and son's godfather introduced me to this recipe. It is a perfect holiday or Sunday brunch menu addition. It is easy to make and has a rich taste, so you can’t help but feel a little fancy while eating it. We recently enjoyed this at a special family occasion, and now it is a favorite. I like to bake it, but it can also be made in a stovetop skillet. —Amanda Wilson, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
