Ingredients:

Serving

12 (2 oz) plain croissants
1 (18 oz) jar orange marmalade
6 oz orange juice
10 eggs
2 cups cream
2 tsp almond extract
1 orange , rind of, grated fresh

Directions:

Spray two 3-quart glass baking dishes with non-stick pan spray.
Or grease baking dishes with butter.
Cut croissants lengthwise with bottom being about 2/3 and top sliver 1/3 and arrange six in each baking dish.
Thin marmalade with orange juice and spoon some over each bottom half of croissant.
Replace croissant tops.
Beat eggs, cream, extract and rind.
Pour over croissants.
Spoon remaining thinned marmalade on top as a glaze.
Allow to soak overnight.
Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or until firm.
Serve hot, garnished with orange slices and strawberries.
May also be topped with a spoonful of whipped cream.
Note: I can easily buy croissants in the bakery section of my supermarket (Sara Lee brand also has a frozen variety). However, I found that the ones I get are very large so I have to cut them to fit in a baking dish and may not get all 6 in (usually use 13 x 9 inch glass pans), but it will work fine as long as you fill the pan even if you need to use less than 6 croissants, Also if I'm taking these to a friends house I will use those throw away aluminum baking tins.
