Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Tear the large croissants into one-inch bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the baking dish.
Generously sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips over the croissant pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until light and frothy.
Pour the egg mixture over the croissants and chocolate layers.
Gently press down on the croissant pieces and let them soak for about 10 minutes.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top and the center is set.
Remove from the oven, cool for a few minutes, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
