Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a medium glass bowl, whisk eggs, milk and flavourings together until well combined.
One at a time, take a croissant and press it into the egg mixture on both sides, letting it get fully covered and the egg mixture absorbed.
Heat up a large sauté pan to medium heat and place 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan until the pan is hot (the butter should sizzle). Place 2 croissants in at a time, don’t overcrowd the pan or you won’t get the nice crust on the outside.
Cook the croissants about 8 minutes each, flipping once so each side gets a nice crust. They are done when they the egg mixture is golden brown and you can start to smell the vanilla/egg cooking, after a few minutes per side.
Make a maple butter drizzle: heat up a few pours of real maple syrup with a tablespoon of butter, to pour over the croissants for extra deliciousness.

Notes

Add any fruit you have on hand: I often use frozen berries that I warm up on the stove or microwave with a bit of maple syrup, a pinch of cinnamon and a tsp of zest from a lemon. You can do the same process with any fresh fruit you have of course.
