Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  4. Tear the croissants into bite-sized chunks and spread evenly in the greased baking dish.
  5. Pour the custard mixture over the croissants, ensuring every piece is soaked.
  6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  7. Let the dish sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before baking.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  9. Allow to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
