Equipment

  • 9"x13” casserole baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 large croissants fresh or a few days old
  • 1 cup whole milk warm
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoon melted butter
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 cups blueberries or mixed berries plus more to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and butter a 9"x13” casserole baking dish.
  • Cut croissant into small pieces (about 1-1.5” cubes) and place in dish.
  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, warm milk, cream, butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Pour the mixture over croissants, pressing down with a spatula to absorb. Add blueberries on top and push them between the croissant layers. Let sit for 15 minutes (even better overnight).
  • Bake for 45 minutes until set and golden, and enjoy this warm.

Notes

Berries such as strawberries and raspberries are best used as garnish after baking. Blueberries and blackberries become jam-like in the casserole. The casserole can be built ahead of time, covered, and stored in the fridge overnight before baking.
