Blueberry Croissant French Toast Bake: Easy Recipe

Print Recipe

A rich and decadent breakfast casserole featuring buttery torn croissants, fresh blueberries, and a sweet cinnamon custard, baked until golden and fluffy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large buttery croissants, torn into pieces
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 and 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the torn croissant pieces and blueberries together, then spread them into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and blueberries. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure all pieces are soaked. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. Cover with foil if it browns too quickly.
  6. Let the bake cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

Notes

  • You can assemble this the night before and refrigerate it; just add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them beforehand to prevent the color from bleeding too much into the custard.
  • Stale croissants actually work better as they absorb the custard without becoming too soggy.
