This Strawberry Croissant French Toast is a delicious twist on classic french toast. This easy brunch recipe is made with buttery croissants and served with a homemade fresh strawberry syrup.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner (Sunday, May 13), I thought it would be a great time to rewind and give another great recipe a chance at the spotlight! We always like to have a nice breakfast on Mother’s Day, so I thought this recipe would be perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch! It’s so easy to make, and such a crowd pleaser!
I think it will be on our menu this year! Except that my hubby won’t be home for Mother’s Day this year. It’s just me & the kids…no guilt trip here honey. Nope. None at all. Don’t worry about me. All alone. With the kids. Making my own Mother’s Day breakfast. Sniff. 😉
Strawberry Croissant French Toast
Ingredients
Croissant French Toast:
- 4 - 6 large croissants
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- powdered sugar
- whipped cream
Fresh Strawberry Syrup:
- 1 lb fresh strawberries 1 clamshell
- 1/2 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Making the Croissant French Toast:
- Whisk together the milk, eggs and vanilla.
- Cut the croissants into halves horizontally. Then dip them into the egg mixture, coating well.
- Cook the croissants on a large non-stick surface until golden brown, making sure to flip half way through, about 2 minutes on each side.
Making the Fresh Strawberry Syrup:
- Cut the strawberries into quarters, and add them to a saucepan with the sugar (add sugar to taste).
- Cook on low-med heat until the mixture is syrup-like, and the strawberries are cooked.
- At this point you can leave the syrup chunky, or puree it. I pureed mine, as we like this better.
- Enjoy!
Let’s eat!
Top the croissant french toast with whipped cream, a little powdered sugar and the strawberry syrup!
Tips!
- For the syrup, you could use frozen strawberries too. Just unthaw them and continue with the recipe.
- Or use any berry you like! I bet raspberries or blueberries would be amazing!

Have a great weekend!

May 30, 2013 at 3:10 AMHey! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
Awesome blog by the way!
