Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 1.5 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 cups roughly torn, day old croissants (about 12-16 croissants)
  • 1 jar high quality fruit preserves (such as blueberry, strawberry, or blackberry)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (cut into small cubes)
  • 6 tablespoons cold salted butter (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup fresh berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • powdered sugar and maple syrup for serving

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Grease a 9x13 inch-baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Add torn croissants and gently toss with egg mixture. Arrange half the croissants in the prepared baking dish. Dollop the jam and cream cheese over the croissants. Add remaining croissants over top and pour remaining egg mixture over the croissants.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  4. Lay thinly sliced butter over the croissants. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and crisp. If the tops brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  5. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Stir in 1 tablespoon powdered sugar or maple syrup, if desired.
  6. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, and maple syrup.
