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
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Place torn croissant pieces evenly in the prepared dish, then scatter the mixed berries over the top.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and berries, pressing down lightly to soak all pieces.
- Let the bake sit for 10 minutes to absorb the custard.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For extra richness, try adding a handful of chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey on top before baking.
