Method

  1. Mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread on each croissant half. Place cut-side up in a buttered baking dish.

    About 5 min

  2. Whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon. Pour over the croissants. Press down to soak.

    About 14 min

  3. Rest 10 minutes so the croissants absorb the custard.

    About 14 min

  4. Bake at 190°C/375°F for 25–30 minutes until puffed and deeply golden.

    About 14 min

  5. Glaze: beat cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla and milk until pourable. Drizzle over the hot bake. Serve warm.
