Ingredients
Scale
Croissants
- 4 croissants, sliced
Berries
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Custard Mixture
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Garnish
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the croissant dish evenly.
- Prepare the Croissants: Slice the croissants and arrange the pieces in a greased baking dish, creating a base layer for the bake.
- Add the Berries: Evenly layer the mixed berries over the sliced croissants, distributing fruit throughout the dish.
- Make the Custard Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and berries. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once baked, optionally dust the Berry Croissant Bake with powdered sugar before serving warm for a delightful presentation and added sweetness.
Notes
- Use day-old croissants for best texture as they absorb the custard better without becoming too soggy.
- Feel free to substitute mixed berries with your favorite seasonal fruits.
- Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving to let the custard set further.
- Powdered sugar dusting is optional but adds a nice touch of sweetness and presentation.
