Blueberry Croissant Breakfast Bake Instructions
For the best results, you should prepare this croissant bake the night before and bake it in the morning.
-
First, use butter or non-stick cooking spray to coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
-
Next, use half of the croissant pieces to create a single layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
-
Once you’ve created a layer of croissant pieces, smoother it with half of the blueberries.
-
Repeat the process to create a second layer of croissant pieces and blueberries on top of the first layer.
-
After you’ve created two layers of croissants and blueberries, beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until it is smooth.
-
Next, add sugar, vanilla, eggs, and milk, then beat until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
-
Pour the mixture evenly over the top of the croissant bake.
-
Cover your croissant bake and refrigerate it overnight. If you don’t have time to prep it ahead, refrigerate your croissant bake for at least 30 minutes.
-
In the morning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
-
Bake your casserole for 35-45 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and it is set in the middle.
-
Sprinkle your croissant bake with powdered sugar, then top it with whipped cream and fresh berries, if desired.
-
Serve warm and enjoy!

Other Topping Ideas
If you’re not a fan of blueberries you can use other fillings or toppings. Trade blueberries for blackberries or strawberries, or make a berry medley using all three. You can also use bananas and walnuts or pecans to make a bananas-nut croissant bake. You can even make a savory version with eggs and cheese instead of fruit.
