Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces mini croissants
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized pan.
Cut the mini croissants into 1-inch pieces and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the fresh blueberries over the croissant pieces, ensuring even distribution.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and blueberries. Press down lightly with a spatula to ensure that the croissants soak up the custard.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, allowing the croissants to absorb the liquid.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
