# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and arrange torn croissant pieces evenly within it.
02 - Whisk eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl until fully incorporated.
03 - Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissant chunks, pressing gently to ensure thorough absorption.
04 - Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight for optimal flavor infusion.
05 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the dish from refrigeration and allow it to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and custard is set.
06 - Cool slightly before slicing. Present warm topped optionally with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh berries.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For richer flavor, drizzle with caramel sauce or include chocolate chips or chopped nuts during assembly. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days and reheat in the oven.
