Like most families, you probably center your holidays around food. It’s a vital part of any social event. So for Easter this year, celebrate the end of the cold weather with rich and sweet dishes that will get the crowd talking.
If your Easter celebration takes place between morning and noon, here’s a bright springy dish to kick off your holiday and will have you and your family hopping for joy.
TikToker Sarah (@sarahjbonds1) has a recipe for an easy berry croissant bake you can make for the big holiday brunch this year. It is neither complicated nor time-consuming. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
The combination of buttery, flaky croissants, fresh berries, and a sweet custard creates the most delicious and decadent breakfast.
“Easter brunch recipes come and go, but I guarantee if you make this super simple berry croissant bake, it’ll be a keeper,” Sarah started her video.
So with that revelation, what are you waiting for? Let’s get into the recipe!
Ingredients:
- 4 large croissants
- 1 cup of mixed berries
- 8 ounces of cream cheese
- 2/3 cup of sugar
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Directions:
Grab ready-to-eat croissants from the bakery section of the grocery store, not the kind that comes in a can. Slice the croissants up into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish.
Next, pour one cup of fresh berries into the dish. They could be strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or whatever you think will please the crowd the most. You can even use frozen berries, and it’ll still come out tasting amazing.
In a separate bowl, mix a package of cream cheese until it’s smooth. Add in sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Combine the ingredients. Then, pour the mixture over the croissants and fruit.
Let them sit in the mixture overnight in the refrigerator. If you’re pressed for time, stick them in the fridge for at least twenty minutes.
Finally, bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes until it’s brown and bubbly. Drizzle syrup and sprinkle powdered sugar over top while it’s still warm.
