French Christmas Croissants:

Croissants, as needed, allowing 2 per person

Eggs, as needed, allowing 1 egg for every 2 or 3 croissants

Splash of milk or light cream
Splash of vanilla, as desired 
Cinnamon-Sugar, as desired (see Note)

Dusting of icing sugar (“powdered” or “confectioners” sugar), as desired

Maple syrup, as desired 

Preheat spray-greased electric griddle to 350 deg. F. or heat spray-greased large skillet to medium high on stove-top. Slice each Croissant lengthwise, in half. Set aside. Using a whisk, beat eggs with a little milk or cream, vanilla, and Cinnamon-Sugar. Dip each cut end in egg mixture. Up-end onto griddle or skillet just until egg mixture sets, about 45 sec. Plate Croissants, dusting with sieved icing sugar. Serve with maple or other syrup.

Note: To make Cinnamon-Sugar, combine 2 tbsp. (30 mL) granulated sugar with 2 tsp. (10 mL) cinnamon, mixing well. If you want to get really fancy, serve these Croissants with bacon, sausages, and fresh fruit. Ooo-la-la! 

Using a fork, whisk together eggs and milk.

Halve Croissant lengthwise.

Dip cut ends in egg.

Cook on the egg-dipped side as you would French toast.

Dust with powdered sugar Garnish with fresh fruit.
