Croissant French Toast

My husband's favorite food is french toast so I thought I'd experiment and try some different recipes. I found this recipe and, despite it being a tad on the unhealthy side, whipped it up one morning! It was very yummy but very sweet (in case you like the savory type of breakfasts). I made a bunch so ended up freezing some of them and just defrosting and baking to reheat and they still tasted good.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup half and half or milk
3 eggs
1/3 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon grated orange peel (I omitted this as I didn't have any oranges)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 1-day-old croissants, halved lengthwise

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
Powdered sugar
Maple syrup


To make:
Whisk first 8 ingredients in medium bowl. Add croissants to egg batter and turn until thoroughly coated.
Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add croissants and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Sift powdered sugar over. Serve with maple syrup.
