Everyday Tips to make Berries and Cream Stuffed French Toast Croissants:

  • Bring the low-fat cream cheese to room temperature, makes it easier to blend.
  • Using almond extract brings a different flavor that I prefer, vanilla extract works as well.
  • The cream cheese layer is thin because it packs a lot of flavor.
  • I use bananas and fresh raspberries. Feel free to adjust the fruit to your families taste.
  • When fresh fruit is unavailable, add fresh fruit preserves to the base of the croissant, also delicious.
  • Use your impeccably clean hands to carefully coat the croissants with the egg wash and flip them with the egg mixture to keep the fruit inside.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and these stuffed berry croissants are absolutely fabulous. I will say these stuffed croissants are a more indulgent breakfast for my family. The stuffed croissants are perfect for special days like Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Day morning. With that said, my boys could eat these 3 times a day, yes 3 times a day! I will say, having my younger son home for the Holidays this year, I make these a lot! As having him home is a Holiday everyday!

    I had never thought of using croissants for french toast but it would be amazingly buttery, I would imagine! I love the idea of pairing it with berries and cream!
