Allow the croissant bread to sit out, uncovered, overnight to help dry out the bread. Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Set aside for now.

Step 1:  

In a large mixing bowl whisk in the eggs, milk, half and half, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined. Then whisk in the flour and baking powder until well combined.

Step 2:  

Place a tablespoon butter in the pan. Heat the pan over medium-low heat until the butter fully melts and begins to sizzle. Swirl the butter around the pan to fully coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 3:  

Dip each side of each piece of sliced croissant bread in the cinnamon vanilla custard for 30 - 60  seconds right before frying on the skillet or griddle.

Step 4:  

Place 2 - 4 slices of custard coated croissant bread onto the hot pan.Fry one side of the croissant bread toast for 3 - 5 minutes or until the toast is golden brown. Flip the croissant bread and repeat frying on the other side for 1 - 2 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5:  

To make the whipped cream, pour the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl fitted with whisk attachment. Mix the cream on low for 1 minute, then increase the speed to medium for 3 - 5 minutes or until soft to medium stiff peaks form.

Step 6:  

Serve the whipped cream and fresh berries alongside the french toasted croissants or stuff the croissants with whipped cream and berries.
