    So here's how you make this croissant french toast - buy some croissants at the grocery store, preferably the half-stale ones on the clearance rack. Take them home, halve them, and stuff them with a generous smear of Nutella and sliced bananas. Put them in a casserole dish and cover in a milk and egg mixture. At this point, you can either stick the whole thing in the fridge overnight, or just wait a couple hours for everything to get nice and soaked. Then when it's breakfast time - bake and eat!!

    While I've made french toast casserole before, and of course some variations of french toast, the combination of croissants and french toast is mind-blowing. The fact that it's an easy peasy casserole is just a bonus, ya know. Also, I think there's nothing better than Nutella and I'll fight you on this. But if you're not into it - bananas with peanut butter would probably be pretty fantastic. Or if you're not into bananas, use strawberries! There are so many options to really make this croissant french toast your own.
