Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt and ginger. Place croissants in a 9 x 13-in (23 x 33 cm) baking dish. Pour mixture over top. Soak croissants 5 min, turn and soak another 5 min until liquid is mostly absorbed.

Melt half of butter in large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook croissants 2 to 3 min per side, until golden brown on each side. Repeat with remaining butter and croissants.

Serve warm topped with berries and drizzled with maple syrup.
