In a mixer, add 8 oz of room temperature cream cheese and mix until creamy and smooth.

Add 1/2 cup sugar and mix until combined, scraping the sides of the mixer as needed.

Add the zest of 1 orange, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup of whole milk to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.

Pour the custard mixture over the croissant pieces in the baking dish, ensuring even coverage.

Dust the top with powdered sugar before baking (optional).

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until set and golden brown.
