# Needed Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 6 large day-old croissants
02 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

→ Custard Base

03 - 4 large eggs
04 - 1 cup whole milk
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Finishing Touch

08 - Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
02 - Tear croissants into bite-sized pieces and distribute evenly in the prepared baking dish.
03 - Sprinkle chocolate chips uniformly over the croissant pieces.
04 - In a mixing bowl, vigorously whisk eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and homogenous.
05 - Pour custard mixture evenly over croissant and chocolate layers. Gently press croissant pieces to saturate with liquid.
06 - Allow the assembled dish to rest for approximately 10 minutes to enable full absorption.
07 - Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top and set in the center.
08 - Allow to cool for several minutes. Slice and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Day-old croissants deliver the best texture and absorb the custard most efficiently.
02 - Ensure even soaking by pressing croissant pieces gently into the custard before baking.
