Ingredients
  

  • 1 croissant stale
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup hazelnut milk
  • 2 drops vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • Oil
  • To serve: honey/maple syrup and chopped nuts

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
  3. Dunk each croissant half into the mixture so that it's fully coated. Set them aside on a plate.
  4. Oil lightly and heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Add the croissant halves, cut-side facing downwards.
  6. After 3 minutes or so they should be golden brown, so flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes or so on the other side.
  7. Remove from the pan and serve with chopped nuts and honey or maple syrup.
