Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Bake with Croissants & Berries

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Butter a 9x13 casserole dish.

Chop up 5-6 large croissants into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces and transfer them to the buttered casserole dish.

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add warm milk, heavy cream, and melted butter.

Add 1/3 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, a generous amount of cinnamon, and a little bit of salt. Whisk until well combined.

Pour the custard mixture over the croissant pieces and press down with a spatula to help them absorb the mixture.

Add blueberries and blackberries into the casserole, pushing some down between the croissants for extra flavor.

Let the casserole rest for 15 minutes before baking, or cover and refrigerate overnight.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes, or until the top is crispy and the berries have burst.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Garnish with fresh berries, including blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and halved strawberries.

Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
