Had this at brunch in upstate New York and fell in love from first bite. I had never heard of it before nor seen a recipe, so had to try and record myself! Since croissants are naturally buttery, there is less need for butter or syrup as you would traditional French toast. Tastes especially great with either apricot pineapple jam or strawberries as shown.
