Ingredients

• 6 pieces mini croissants
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized pan.

Step 2

Cut the mini croissants into 1-inch pieces and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Sprinkle the fresh blueberries over the croissant pieces, ensuring even distribution.

Step 4

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and blueberries. Press down lightly with a spatula to ensure that the croissants soak up the custard.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, allowing the croissants to absorb the liquid.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
