Cozy Blueberry Croissant French Toast Bake
This Blueberry Croissant French Toast Bake is a buttery, berry-filled breakfast casserole made with flaky croissants, fresh blueberries, and a creamy vanilla custard. It’s simple to assemble, bakes beautifully golden, and tastes like a mix between bread pudding and French toast—perfect for brunch or holidays.
Ingredients
- 6 croissants preferably a day old
- 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Cut croissants into 2-inch pieces and arrange them in the dish. Scatter blueberries evenly over the top.
- Pour the custard over the croissants, pressing gently so every piece soaks up the mixture. Let it rest for about 5–10 minutes.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until the top turns golden and the custard is set—crispy on the edges and soft in the center.
- Cool for a few minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup for extra sweetness.
