For The Croissant Stuffing
1 1/4 cups mascarpone, room temperature
1 tablespoon sugar (can opt for honey or maple syrup) *See Cook’s Notes
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cook’s Notes
If you want to replace the sugar for honey, keep in mind that honey is sweeter than sugar, so use about 3/4 the amount of honey. Therefore, replace the sugar with 2 teaspoons of honey.
Maple syrup on the other hand, is about as sweet as sugar, and therefore, you can replace the sugar using an equal amount of syrup.
Also, if you choose to use one of the above replacements for the sugar, omit the vanilla.
In a small glass bowl, add mascarpone, sugar and vanilla. Mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
Cut croissants horizontally and set aside on a large plate.
In a pie dish or similar utensil, add eggs, cream, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt a tablespoon of butter.
Note: For each slice of croissant, only dip bottom slices on both sides in egg mixture. As for the top slices with the dome, only deep the cut side in the egg mixture.
Dip croissant slices in egg mixture. Add to skillet and cook until golden brown, making sure to flip bottom slices half way through, about 2 minutes on each side. Cook top slices as well (cut side only) for 2 minutes and remove from heat to a large plate.
Spread mascarpone over bottom slices. Add some strawberry slices evenly over mascarpone. Next, top with other half of croissant. Add a dollop of mascarpone with strawberry slices and serve with strawberry syrup.
