Fabulous Croissant French Toast

I got this recipe from my grandma. I love to make this recipe when we have company. It's easy but they think I worked very hard on it.

Directions

1. Beat eggs and cream together, add triple sec, granulated sugar, orange zest and cinnamon and whisk together.
2. Pour into a shallow bowl or pie plate.
3. Dip each croissant half in mixture, turning once.
4. Melt a few tablespoons of butter in skillet over medium heat, add as many croissant halves that will fit and fry until golden brown, repeat with any remaining croissants.
5. Put on plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar, I also like to add a slice or two of oranges to each plate.
6. Syrup and butter is optional, I like it with both, but my mom eats it plain.
