- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, butter, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest.
- Ladle over top of berries.
- Allow to stand for 30 minutes before baking.
- While casserole is standing, heat oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 1 hour 40 minutes, covering after 35 minutes.
- Let rest for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to wash and dry your berries!
- The ingredients for the custard need to be room temperature. That way, when you mix in the melted butter, it won't clump.
- If you have larger croissants, you will need to cut them smaller.
- This casserole takes a while to bake! Be sure to cover it with foil about 35 minutes into baking.
- The casserole will rise while it's baking. When it's done, it will be puffy all over (even in the middle!).
- You may need to adjust cooking time based on size and shape of your casserole!
- This casserole sinks after it's taken out of the oven.
