What I love about this Berry Croissant Bake
There are so many reasons to love this tasty breakfast dish. First, it’s so easy to make and only calls for a handful of ingredients- which you know I love. I also LOVE that I can prepare it the night before and refrigerate it overnight. But guess what? If I need to make it quickly, I can also make it the day of and let it set for 20 minutes before baking. It’s perfect for an effortless holiday breakfast and great for a quick weekend breakfast with the family. I especially like to make it Sunday morning so I can have leftovers during the week – if there are any.

The recipe isn’t clear but I think you need to mix the cream cheese and sugar together and then add the wet ingredients, otherwise the cream cheese splits. At least I think that’s what went wrong but I don’t have enough croissants to try again so I’m trying as is but it came out funky. The recipe just needs to be more clear.
Hi Liz, Don’t worry! The cream cheese mixture will be a little lumpy but it will still turn out great. I promise! I was a little worried myself. Just hide the lumps with extra berries before baking in the oven:)

How about making sure your cream cheese is very soft, that eliminates clumped cream cheese in recipes.
Would it be possible to refrigerate it for 2 days? I want to make this for Christmas morning, but I’m afraid I may not have time to prep it on Christmas Eve! Thanks!
I know it can be refrigerated the night before so I’m sure two days wouldn’t hurt. I’ve made it and had leftovers for the week so you could probably bake it ahead of time and reheat it two days later.

When you say three croissants are you meaning just three or three cans?
Three large croissants that are already baked. You would probably need an entire can of baked croissants for this recipe.
This recipe is SO delicious! I just made it for my nephew’s birthday breakfast and it was such a huge hit with everyone! I will definitely be making this again.

I made this tonight but I realized that I forgot to get the cream cheese. So I made it without. I added a few more eggs and some more milk. I hope it sets up properly. I’ll have to let you know how it tastes without the cream cheese.
I found this a tasty, easy recipe, using fresh blueberries and raspberries.
My co-workers loved it!

Ok so I realized after I baked this recipe that the croissants were supposed to be cooked first before and not raw. It would be very helpful if you added that key instruction to your baking and ingredients list
I could not find croissants so I got brioche bread, should that work as a good substitute?
I think that should be fine. Let us know how it turns out.
I couldn’t find croissants so I bought brioche bread instead. Should this work as a good substitute, will it be too soggy if I use brioche and let it sit overnight?
I made this the night before and refrigerated it overnight. We cooked it for 50 minutes total and it was still pretty mushy. Is that how yours turned out? Thanks!
