French Toast Method:

2. Once combined, whisk in heavy cream and whole milk. Pour into a dish/container.

3. Slice the desired bread (brioche in this recipe). Dunk the slices into the custard and sit for a few seconds.

4. In a large pan greased with melted unsalted butter, lay in two slices of bread and cook/toast for 3 minutes. Flip and repeat.

5. Place onto a plate, top with a small piece of butter, and drizzle with maple syrup.

Baked Croissant Method:

1. In a bowl, add in the eggs, fine sea salt, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, grated nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

2. Once combined whisk in whole milk.

3. In a small saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat.

4. Once melted, add in packed brown sugar and whisk until combined. Continue heating until it begins to shimmer.

5. Spread the mixture onto the bottom of a greased 9x12 baking dish.

6. Slice the croissants in half and layer them into the baking dish.

7. Pour the custard all over the croissants. Cover with foil and let sit for 20-25 minutes to soak.

8. Bake in a 350F oven (with the foil on) for 30 minutes.

9. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
