- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 large eggs

- Layer the croissant pieces in the dish, then sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over them.
- In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
- Pour the custard mixture over the croissants, pressing down gently to soak them.
