Description
A luscious breakfast casserole that layers buttery croissants with mixed berries and a creamy custard. Baked until golden and bubbly, this dish is perfect for leisurely weekend mornings or special brunches.
Ingredients
6 large croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces
2 cups mixed fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread croissant pieces evenly in the prepared dish. Scatter mixed berries over the croissants.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth and combined.
Pour custard mixture evenly over croissants and berries. Press down lightly to help soak the bread.
Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10-15 more minutes until the top is golden brown and custard is set.
Let cool for 10 minutes, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
