Description
Transform everyday croissants into a warm, fruity breakfast or brunch treat with this Berry Croissant Bake, featuring custard-soaked croissants and mixed berries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 croissants, torn into pieces
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium baking dish (about 8×8 or equivalent) with butter or nonstick spray. Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and rinse or pat dry the mixed berries if needed.
- Place half of the torn croissant pieces in the bottom of the baking dish. Scatter half of the mixed berries evenly. Add the remaining croissant pieces and top with the rest of the berries so the fruit sits throughout.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant and berry layers, gently pressing down so the croissant soaks up the custard.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out mostly clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve warm with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream for a decadent touch.
