Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Add the croissant pieces to the prepared baking dish.
4 large Costco-sized croissants
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
8 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pour the egg mixture over the croissant pieces, and gently press the croissant pieces into the custard.
Stir together the granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top of the croissants.
Set aside while the oven preheats.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake, covered, for 25 minutes.
Uncover and continue to bake until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

Croissants: The croissants that you'll need are the large sized croissants that you can get at Costco that are about 2.3 ounces each. If you can't get the large croissants, simply use more of the smaller croissants to fill the pan as shown in the "how to make" section above.

Whole milk: You can use half-and-half or cream for richer French toast or use 1% or 2% milk for French toast that isn't as rich. You could also use plant-based milk, like almond milk, if you would like to make the French toast casserole dairy free.
