Creating this delightful Chocolate Croissant Breakfast Bake is a breeze if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Croissants: Cut the croissants into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the greased baking dish.
3. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the croissant pieces to ensure chocolatey goodness in every bite.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
5. Pour Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant pieces and chocolate chips, ensuring everything is well soaked.
6. Press Down: Gently press the croissant pieces down into the mixture so they absorb the liquid.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
8. Cool Slightly: Once done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Optional step—dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant touch before serving.

These straightforward steps guarantee a delicious Chocolate Croissant Breakfast Bake that will impress anyone lucky enough to enjoy it!
