This Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Croissant French Toast Casserole is insane. It is delicious, easy, impressive and our new weekend go-to for breakfast!! Bring on the company because they will love you for it, too! The custard is actually made from cream cheese and it reminds me of a wonderful cheesecake batter. then, you pour it over big, fluffy croissants and add some chocolate. A no-brainer, right? You let it sit for 20 minutes to soak up the custard and then pop into the oven. 40 minutes till the most divine breakfast!

ABSOLUTELY a divine french toast treat!
No Costco anywhere near..Are these croissants found in the freezer section of say Walmart?And do you cut them up frozen?
Not sure about walmart….I bought fresh ones and froze them. Yes, I cut while frozen. Maybe walmart has frozen, cooked croissants! Just make sure they are cooked! LOL
thanks so much
Can’t wait to try it. It has everything I love in it. 🙂
Do you add the chocolate chips while the casserole is soaking…or after it’s baked?
I had them in there while soaking!
