BERRY CROISSANT BAKE TIPS

• Make sure to use pre-made croissants from the bakery section in your local grocery store.
• Having your cream cheese at room temperature will make the mixing process easier and ensure that the custard is the correct consistency. 
• Tear the croissants into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
• This dish is amazing to pair with bacon, ham, sausage, or any other breakfast protein!
• Add a pinch of cinnamon to your custard for extra flavor.
• Instead of croissants you can also try using chopped cinnamon swirl bagels!

CAN I USE FROZEN BERRIES INSTEAD OF FRESH BERRIES?

Yes! Both frozen and fresh berries will work for this recipe. This is especially helpful if your favorite berries aren’t in season.

Just thaw the frozen berries in a bowl and drain the excess liquid to prevent the dish from being too runny. You can also adjust the sweetness in the recipe depending on how sweet the frozen berries are.

WHAT OTHER FRUIT CAN I USE IN THIS BERRY BAKE?

In addition to strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, there are a lot of different fruits that will taste delicious in this breakfast dish.

Cherries, blackberries, and peaches are just a few tasty examples. Experiment with your favorite fruits and customize to your liking!

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE?

It’s best to make this croissant bake no more than a day ahead. Preparing it too far in advance may lead to the berries becoming overly soft.

HOW DO YOU STORE BERRY CROISSANT BAKE?

This recipe is perfect for reheating and enjoying for multiple mornings. Just store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheat in the oven to enjoy!

HOW TO FREEZE BERRY CROISSANT CASSEROLE?

To freeze this dish, cover tightly and freeze for around 2-3 months. Then let it thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed or until crispy brown.
