Method

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cut day-old croissants into 1-inch pieces and layer half in the baking dish. Sprinkle half the chocolate chips over them.
Layer the remaining croissants on top and add the rest of the chocolate chips.
In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Pour custard mixture over the croissants and press gently to soak.
Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to absorb custard.
Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and custard is set.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with fresh berries or whipped cream.
