Indulge in the delightful combination of flaky croissants and juicy berries with this Berry Croissant Bake. Perfect for brunch or a sweet breakfast treat, this decadent dish layers buttery croissants with a custard mixture and mixed berries, making it a favorite for all seasons. The juxtaposition of the crispy, warm croissants and the tartness of the berries creates a deliciously satisfying experience.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Arrange the halved croissants in the prepared baking dish, cut side up. Tuck the mixed berries between the pieces of croissant.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and berries, ensuring that every piece is saturated. Allow the mixture to sit for 15-20 minutes.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with additional fresh berries before serving.
