Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Reserve 2 tablespoons of this mixture in a small bowl and set aside.

Add the eggs to the large bowl of cinnamon sugar mixture and whisk until smooth.

Add the half and half, vanilla, and a pinch of salt and whisk until combined.

Youll have two layers of croissant pieces and its nice to arrange the top halves so they face up.

Sprinkle the casserole with the reserved cinnamon sugar.

Bake until the croissants are browned and the egg mixture is set, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup, if desired.

Simple Tip!

The casserole can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance.

Leave off the cinnamon sugar topping until ready to bake.

Cover and store in the fridge.

Bake for 26 to 32 minutes.
