Ingredients

Scale
  • Main Ingredients:
    • 6 large croissants (preferably day-old or slightly stale)
    • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
    • 8 large eggs
    • 2 cups milk
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Toppings:
    • Powdered sugar for dusting
    • Maple syrup or berry syrup for serving
    • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Slice the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  • Scatter the mixed berries evenly over the croissant pieces.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and salt.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the croissants and berries, pressing down gently to ensure all pieces are soaked.
  • Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Let it cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup or berry syrup and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Day-old croissants work best as they absorb the custard without becoming too mushy.
  • Feel free to use your favorite combination of berries.
