Description
This easy croissant french toast bake combines flaky croissants, sweet cinnamon custard, and juicy berries baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 large croissants (fresh or slightly stale)
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup warm whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 cups blueberries or mixed berries (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Chop croissants into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces and scatter evenly in the dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, warmed milk, cream, butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the custard over the croissants, pressing gently to help them absorb the mixture. Sprinkle berries over and between layers. Let soak for 15 minutes or overnight for best results.
