This Berry Croissant Bake is a decadent yet simple breakfast casserole made with buttery croissants, juicy berries, and a rich custard. It’s perfect for brunch, special occasions, or a weekend treat! Serve it warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large croissants, torn into chunks
  • 1 ½ cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole, almond, or oat)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar, for topping (optional)
  • Maple syrup or whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the croissants: Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them in the baking dish.
  3. Add the berries: Scatter the mixed berries evenly over the croissants.
  4. Make the custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, maple syrup (or sugar), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Assemble the bake: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and berries, pressing down slightly to help the croissants absorb the liquid.
  6. Let it soak: Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and set in the center.
  8. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make it ahead: Assemble the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning!
  • Dairy-free option: Use almond or oat milk and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
  • Extra flavor: Add lemon zest or a splash of almond extract for a fresh twist.
  • Crunchy topping: Sprinkle with slivered almonds or granola before baking for added texture.
