Ingredients

8 small croissants
1 (3-ounce) bar semi-sweet or dark chocolate
4 large eggs
¾ cup 2% milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
fresh fruit
maple syrup

Directions

With a serrated knife cut the croissants in half lengthwise. Cut a pocket horizontally in each slice of croissant. Cut the candy bar into 6 rectangles. Fill each croissant with a piece of chocolate. In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Dip the croissant halves, one at a time, into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides and being careful not to squeeze out the chocolate filling. Place in a casserole dish for about 15 minutes.

On a griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Cook the slices until golden brown on both sides; serve warm. Garnish with confectioner’s sugar, fresh fruit and maple syrup, if desired.
