Blueberry Croissant Puff
Croissants, cream cheese, and blueberries
are a good combo on their own. So good when
combined to make this richbread-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 panggang for 35 minutes.
Tear up the croissants and place into 9danquot; 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.

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

Variations: Double the recipe and put in a
9"x13danquot; casserole, then bake 45-50 minutes.

Flavor Variation: Try raspberries and
mini chocolate chips. Yum!
Enjoy!
