Berry Croissant Breakfast Casserole Recipe
I love croissants but sometimes I buy too many. Rather than have them go to waste, I came up with a Berry Croissant Breakfast Casserole recipe. It can be used as either a dessert (warmed with some ice cream is my favorite) or makes a great Christmas morning breakfast casserole. If I had a bed & breakfast I would definitely serve this. As well as our Almond Banana Zucchini breakfast muffins.
What’s Needed
- Croissants
- Fresh Raspberries
- Fresh Blueberries
- Cream Cheese
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Half-n-Half
- Vanilla
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly coat an 11x9 casserole dish with cooking spray.
3. Tear croissants into pieces and place in the pan. Add the blueberries and raspberries. Set aside.
4. In a medium size mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and sugar, beat on low speed with your electric mixer until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix until incorporated, then add the half-n-half and mix.
5. Pour your liquid over the croissant mixture and pat down with a spoon to make sure everything is coated.
6. Place in oven for 30 minutes then take out and cover with foil. Place back in the oven for 10 minutes. Covering the pan in foil is optional, but it will allow the croissants not to get too dark on top.

This looks delicious! Does anybody know if you can prep this the night before, and bake it in the morning?

I have prepped it the night before when I was short on time in the AM. The liquid does soak in but it came out tasting the same. And saved time in the morning.
