Ingredients
- 4–6 large croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer Croissants and Berries: Place the torn croissant pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish. Scatter the mixed berries over the croissants.
- Prepare Custard Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Combine: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and berries, pressing down gently to ensure the croissants absorb the mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
- Serve: Allow the bake to cool slightly before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with maple syrup.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the dish the night before, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake in the morning for a hassle-free breakfast.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
- Freezing: Freeze the unbaked or baked casserole for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking or reheating.
