With Mother’s Day just around the corner (Sunday, May 13),
I thought it would be a great time to rewind and give another great recipe a chance at the spotlight!
We always like to have a nice breakfast on Mother’s Day, so I thought this recipe would be perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch!
It’s so easy to make, and such a crowd pleaser!
I think it will be on our menu this year!
Except that my hubby won’t be home for Mother’s Day this year.
It’s just me & the kids…no guilt trip here honey. Nope. None at all.
Don’t worry about me. All alone. With the kids. Making my own Mother’s Day breakfast.
Sniff. ;)
Croissant French Toast
(Recipe from Southern Living, via Fabulously Fun Food)
4-6 large croissants
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
powdered sugar
whipped cream
- Whisk together the milk, eggs and vanilla.
- Cut the croissants into halves horizontally. Then dip them into the egg mixture, coating well.
- Cook the croissants on a large non-stick surface until golden brown, making sure to flip half way through (about 2 minutes on each side).
Fresh Strawberry Syrup
1 lb fresh strawberries (1 clamshell)
1/2 – 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- Cut the strawberries into quarters, and add them to a saucepan with the sugar (add sugar to taste).
- Cook on low-med heat until the mixture is syrup-like, and the strawberries are cooked.
- At this point you can leave the syrup chunky, or puree it. I pureed mine, as we like this better.
Let’s eat!

Tips!
- For the syrup, you could use frozen strawberries too. Just unthaw them and continue with the recipe.
- Or use any berry you like! I bet raspberries or blueberries would be amazing!

I LOVE croissants!! Instead of getting a donut at Safeway, I always get a sugar glazed croissant with chocolate drizzle. I’m sure it’s way worse for me than a regular donut, but they are soo good! I will definitely be trying this recipe. Thanks for sharing, again. ; )
Have a great weekend!
Ummm…. YUM!! Stopping by from TT&J and SO glad that I did!!
