croissant french toast bake

Do you ever buy those giant trays of croissants from costco? This recipe is for you! It’s easy, completely customizable, and perfect for feeding a crowd. This berry cream cheese croissant bake would be perfect for brunch, or as a holiday morning breakfast. You can prepare it ahead of time and pop it in the oven in the morning.

I used strawberry preserves and topped my french toast with fresh raspberries, blueberries, and black berries. You could easily swap out the type of preserves or fresh berries based on your preferences.
