Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large croissants, day-old
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Tear croissants into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly in the prepared dish.
- Scatter the mixed berries over the croissant pieces.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and berries, pressing gently to soak the bread.
- Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the croissants 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.
Notes
