This luxurious breakfast dish is a twist on a classic, ethical French dish that brings “pain perdu” (French for “lost bread,” referring to stale or hardened bread) back to life. It’s a luxurious French-style breakfast. We soak croissants in a mixture of eggs, milk, and heavy cream, place them in a baking dish, and bake them. Enjoy the crispy exterior and moist, tender interior.
