Berry Croissant Breakfast Bake

This Berry Croissant Breakfast Bake combines flaky croissants with fresh berries and a creamy custard for a delicious and effortless morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the torn croissant pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Scatter the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries evenly over the croissants.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  5. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and berries, pressing down gently to soak the bread.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the croissants to absorb the custard.
  7. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

For extra richness, serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream.
