Croissant French Toast Cups

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Resting Time15 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Servings: 6 cups

Ingredients

  • 6 slices black forest deli ham patted dry
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups torn croissant pieces from about 2-3 medium-sized croissants
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar or turbinado sugar
  • serve with: berries, whipped cream, maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, and spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray. You will only be using 6 of the muffin molds.
  • Place a slice of ham into each cup, pressing to fit along the shape of the muffin tin mold.
  • Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Add the torn pieces of croissant to the bowl. Stir until evenly coats. Let the croissants soak up the wet mixture for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Evenly spoon the ham cups with the croissant mixture. Use a slotted spoon for this step so that you don't spoon any unnecessary excess egg mixture. Sprinkle the coarse sugar on top.
  • Bake the cups for about 15-20 minutes or until brown and crispy. Serve immediately with fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or whatever your heart desires!
