How To Make raspberry ricotta croissant french toast

  • 1
    In a mixing bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the ricotta. Stir in the honey for a sweet ricotta, if you like. Set aside.
  • 2
    In a small bowl, mash half the raspberries. Stir in the remaining whole berries. Set aside.
  • 3
    In a shallow, medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until combined. Dip the croissants into the egg mixture, allowing each side to sit for 1-2 minutes in the egg mixture.
  • 4
    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat generously with butter. When the skillet is hot, cook the croissants in batches (do not overcrowd) until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired.
  • 5
    Serve the french toast topped with ricotta, raspberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
