Blueberry Croissant French Toast Bake

• 份量: 8 servings
• 活動時間: 10 minutes
• 總時間: 50 minutes

食材

6-8 croissants (large day old)

1 cup fresh blueberries

4 large eggs

1 ½ cups milk (whole preferably but any will do)

½ cup heavy cream

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

½ cup mascarpone (at room temperature or whipped cream)

¾ cup wild blueberries (thawed or more fresh blueberries)

½ cup maple syrup

powdered sugar (for garnish)

步驟

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. (This number will vary depending on the size of thee croissants.) 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!

Storage Information

Make ahead: Assemble the night before, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bake in the morning as directed.

Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until piping hot.

Is it okay to make this recipe ahead of time?

This is a great make-ahead recipe! You can prep it in advance and then bake just before serving. At step 4 of the recipe, cover the dish with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Remove it from the fridge one hour prior to baking to allow the croissant bake to come to room temperature before baking.

If your croissants are fresh, leave them uncovered for a few hours or place them in a 300°F oven for 5-10 minutes to help crisp up the outside.
