French Toasted Croissant

On my last day in Auckland, I had to try the much-raved-about croissant french toast at the Westin's Toast restaurant. It seemed like everyone had sampled it during our stay and couldn't believe it wasn't on every menu worldwide. I mean, a croissant—all butter and puff pastry—dipped in batter. And fried. How have we not thought of this? It is GENIUS.

The plate is served with a lengthwise cut banana equally fried up plus two strips of barely cooked bacon stacked on top of the croissant. Powdered sugar and maple syrup drizzled on top finesse this gooey masterpiece. It was simply a bonus that the sun was shining on the harbor that morning, and that I was able to pair brunch with another fab cappuccino.
