Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Croissants
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a baking dish (approximately 9x9 inches) with a non-stick spray or butter.
Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended.
Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the croissant pieces, ensuring they are well-coated.
Gently press down the croissant pieces with the back of a spoon so they absorb the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
If desired, dust the dessert with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.
