Orange Croissant French Toast

Orange Croissant French Toast
Bon Appetit

Ingredients:

2/3 cup half and half (or milk)
3 eggs
1/3 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
sprinkle of salt
4, 1 day old croissants, halved lengthwise
Butter
Powdered sugar
Maple syrup

Preparation:

Whisk first 9 ingredients in medium bowl.  Add croissants to egg batter and turn until throughly coated.  Let croissants soak for a few minutes each side in the batter to absorb batter properly.

Melt butter in skillet over medium heat.  Add croissants and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes on both sides).  Be careful because it can burn quickly.  Sift powdered sugar over croissants.  Serve with maple syrup.

***I used smaller croissants (not mini croissants, but not large croissants) and I doubled the recipe.  Also, when I flipped the croissants during cooking, I flipped the croissants in the batter that was soaking.***
