Berry Croissant Breakfast Bake

A delightful combination of buttery croissants and fresh berries, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 croissants, slightly stale or a day old
  • 2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon zest for a citrusy boost

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Slice the croissants into halves or quarters. Arrange them in the dish.
  3. Scatter the mixed berries evenly across the croissants.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.
  5. Pour the custard slowly over the croissants, pressing gently so each piece absorbs the liquid. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set but still jiggling in the center.
  7. Cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup or whipped cream.

Notes

Use day-old croissants for the best texture and feel free to mix berries based on preference.
