Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Glass Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • OXO Dusting Wand

Ingredients
  

Croissant Bake

  • 6-8 large croissants day old
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups milk whole preferably but any will do
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt

To Serve (Optional)

  • 0.5 cup mascarpone at room temperature or whipped cream
  • 0.75 cup wild blueberries thawed or more fresh blueberries
  • 0.5 cup maple syrup
  • powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter. Set aside.
  • Tear the croissants by hand and add as many as needed to completely fill the baking dish with no spaces between the croissant pieces. Scatter the fresh blueberries over the top.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Whisk together until completely combined.
  • Pour the custard over the croissants. Let it sit for 15 minutes which will give the croissants time to soak up some of the custard. Alternatively, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge overnight.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes (removing plastic wrap first if refrigerated overnight). Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and the custard has set.
  • Once baked, dot spoonfuls of the mascarpone between the croissants, spoon wild blueberries as desired and drizzle over the maple syrup. Dust over some powdered sugar if you wish.
  • Serve while still warm from the oven. Enjoy!

Notes

Make ahead: Assemble the night before, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bake in the morning as directed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze individual portions for up to 2 months.
