Croissant French Toast

• 6 large fully baked croissants, frozen
• 4 eggs
• ¾ cup half and half
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon or pie spice
• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Using a sharp knife, cut each of the croissants lengthwise into 4-5 ¾" thick slices. Set aside.

Whisk together the remaining ingredients in a shallow dish - I use a pie plate.

Heat an electric griddle to 325°F and apply the cooking fat of your choice lightly to the surface. I used butter. Dip each croissant slice in the egg mixture and gently tap it to remove excess egg mixture. Cook the slices on the preheated electric griddle for about 4 minutes per side. Remove the French toast to a plate and keep warm. Serve warm with the toppings of your choice.
