Equipment

9"x13" casserole baking dish

Ingredients

5-6 large croissants fresh or a few days old
5 units eggs
1 cup whole milk warm
½ cup heavy cream
4 tablespoon butter melted
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 (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)

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 like strawberries and raspberries should be used as garnish after baking. Blueberries and blackberries become jam-like in the casserole. Alternatives include seasonal fruit or nuts. Can be prepared the night before and stored in the fridge.
