My in-laws visited earlier this month and I wanted a breakfast that we could just pull out of the fridge and warm up. For one, I’m lazy and anything easy I’m all for. But also, we like to sleep in and realize that our guests don’t always keep the same sleeping schedule as we do.
Enter Pinterest.
I saw this Blueberry Croissant Puff recipe a while ago and had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to make it. And man, I’m glad I did!
First, what’s needed:
3 large croissants, cut up into bite size pieces (about 5 – 5 ½ cups)
* I bought the Great Value Wal-Mart brand croissants and baked them up before tearing them apart.
** Plus I used all of it, making a double batch.
1 cup of fresh (or frozen) blueberries
* I didn’t measure; I just used an entire (large) container of blueberries.
1 package (8 oz.) of cream cheese, softened
* I doubled up.
2/3 cup of sugar
* I did NOT double up here. It seemed like it would be too much sugar if I did.
**Turns out, it worked just fine with only ½ of the required sugar…
2 eggs
* I doubled up.
1 teaspoon of vanilla
* guess what? I doubled up.
1 cup of milk
* I doubled up. Surprise!
Now let’s cook:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place croissant pieces in a 9X13 baking pan. If not doubling up on everything like I did, go ahead and use a 9-inch square pan.
Sprinkle with blueberries.
Beat the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer until well blended.
Gradually add the milk, beating well along the way.
Pour evenly over the croissant pieces and blueberries.
Let stand 20 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until set in the center and golden brown. Cover it with foil the last 10 minutes if the tops are getting too browned.
Serve warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar. Although, we skipped the powdered sugar bit…
What do you think? Is this recipe worth a try? Have any other easy breakfast recipes to share? I’d love to hear from you!

It does sound worth a try! I think I’d try the croissants from the bakery section of the grocery to keep from having to bake them. Yes, I’m lazy like that.
Just what this diabetic needs.
I was thinking the same thing, David. I seriously want to try this with Splenda, though.
Looks and sounds delicious.
Hi Tiffany. Love ya but are you trying to give me a heart attack? It’s a wonderful recipe but I’m still north of my target weight.
Shoot! Thanks for the reminder. Gotta send you hubby’s compote recipe.
