Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

Butter an 8-inch square or other shallow 2-quart baking dish.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, salt and nutmeg. Add toasted croissant pieces and chocolate. Mix to combine.

Step 4

Transfer croissant mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake until a tester knife or inserted in the middle comes out clean, 40-50 minutes. Or make sure an instant-read thermometer reads at least 160°F and the top is golden brown.

Step 5

Serve warm or room temperature.
