Preparation

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth.
Add the chocolate croissants and gently press down on each one to help the egg mixture absorb. Let soak for 2 minutes maximum. No longer, or the croissants will start to fall apart.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the croissants for 2 to 3 minutes per side until deep golden brown. Add more butter as needed between batches.
Serve immediately drizzled with a generous pour of maple syrup and fresh fruit.
