Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large croissants, torn into pieces
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Place the torn croissant pieces evenly in the prepared dish.
- Scatter the mixed berries over the croissants.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissants and berries, pressing down gently to soak.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes so the croissants absorb the custard.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the top is golden and the bake is set in the center.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra richness, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup.
