Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Almond French Toast Bake
  1. Begin by cutting the croissants into bite-sized pieces and gently arranging them in a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until well combined. Slowly incorporate milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the arranged croissants, ensuring they are fully coated. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
  4. Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This helps ensure even cooking.
  6. Remove the cover and bake for 40 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Let cool for about 10 minutes, dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve warm.
