- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- brown sugar sprinkle optional
Instructions

Notes
- You can use stale croissants; day-old croissants absorb custard without getting soggy.
- A single layer will ensures even soaking and baking.
- Covering with foil keeps the custard soft while the croissants bake.
- If desired, uncovering for the last few minutes will allows the tops to turn golden brown and lightly crisp up.
- Cooling for a few minutes helps the custard set before serving.
