If you have stale or day-old croissants left over, make French toast for breakfast or dessert. This recipe uses a single pan for the toast, making it convenient for serving several people. Let the croissants sit for a few minutes before baking, ensuring a soft and creamy interior. Serve drizzled with a simple syrup made from watered-down orange confit.

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• Grated zest of 1 orange

Preparation:

Step 1
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup sugar, milk, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Place the croissants in a single layer in an 8-inch square ovenproof dish.
Step 2
• Pour the egg mixture over the croissants, then place a plate on top and press down so they're submerged. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Step 3
• Preheat oven to 175°C.
Step 4
• Remove the croissants from the plate, cover the baking dish with foil, and bake until set, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil.
Step 5
• Uncover the pan, sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and broil until the sugar begins to bubble in spots, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the jam with 1/4 cup water and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Serve with French toast.
