Blueberry Croissant Puff

Croissants, cream cheese, and blueberries 

are a good combo on their own. So good when

combined to make this rich bread-pudding- 

oven-french-toast-like breakfast bake. 

I like that I can make it the night before.

Then whoever is up first in the morning

can take it out of the fridge and the just

pop it into the oven for 35 minutes. 

Tear up the croissants and place into 9" dish.

Sprinkle on the blueberries, fresh or frozen.

No need to thaw the frozen blueberries.

I was just shy of 1 cup of blueberries so I 

added a few raspberries too. You can use 

any combo of berries. 

Have the cream cheese at room temp,

or soften  in the microwave.  

Mix up the batter. 

Pour the batter evenly over the croissants.

 Don't worry if there are flecks of cream cheese. 

They will dissolve when baked. Now cover and

 put in the fridge. If you want to bake it right

away, just let it soak for about 20 minutes.

Bake @350º for about 35-40 minutes.

Pretty!

Dust with powdered sugar.

We had leftovers so we can warm them in the 

microwave during the week. Remember this

 one for Mother's Day, Christmas morning, 

or Easter brunch. 

It's elegant but easy.

Blueberry Croissant Puff

3 large croissants, torn (5-5-1/2C)

1 C blueberries

3/4 pkg cream cheese (6 oz), softened

1/2 C sugar

2 eggs

1 C milk

1t vanilla

Tear the croissants into pieces. 3 large

or 5-6 small ones will yield 5 to 5-1/2C.

Place in a 9" square pan and sprinkle on

blueberries. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and

 eggs until creamy. Beat in milk and vanilla.

 Pour evenly over croissant pieces. Let 

stand 20 minutes or cover and refrigerate

 overnight. Bake @350º for 35-40 minutes,

 until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm

 sprinkled with powdered sugar. 

Variations: Double the recipe and put in a 

9"x13" casserole, then bake 45-50 minutes.

Bake in 10 individual 1/2C ramekins, dividing

the ingredients evenly. Bake 20-25 minutes.

Flavor Variation: Try raspberries and 

mini chocolate chips. Yum!

Enjoy!
