Directions: |
Directions:Prep – set the oven to 350°F and butter your 9×13 casserole dish.
Cut the croissants into 1” pieces with a serrated knife, kitchen shears, or tear with your hands, and then spread evenly in the bottom of the greased dish.
Mix the custard – whisk the rest of the ingredients, except the berries, together in a bowl.
Build the casserole – pour the mixture over and press down the croissants to soak it in, and then, sprinkle most of the blueberries and blackberries over the top. For the best jammy flavor in each bite, push the berries between the chunks of croissant. Let it rest for 15 minutes or overnight (see make-ahead instructions below).
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until the top is toasted and the custard is set.
Serve garnished with plenty of fresh berries, which makes this casserole visually stunning. Remember, the casserole isn’t too sweet, so don’t be shy about adding the maple syrup. |

Make-Ahead: Store assembled casserole covered overnight in the fridge before baking. Then bake right from the refrigerator.
To Refrigerate: Store cooled leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days, as long as the berries stay fresh (blueberries will hold up the best).
Freezing: Store uncooked or cooled French toast bake in the freezer in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight.
To Reheat: Heat a whole cooked casserole or individual portions in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 350°F for the best results. You can also warm in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave until warmed through and the top is lightly crisp.
