- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, warm milk, cream, butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the mixture over croissants, pressing down with a spatula to absorb. Add blueberries on top and push them between the croissant layers. Let sit for 15 minutes (even better overnight).

Notes
Berries like strawberries and raspberries dry out when baked; use them as garnish. Blueberries and blackberries become jam-like in the casserole. Can substitute with seasonal fruits or nuts. For make-ahead, assemble and refrigerate overnight, adding extra baking time. Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in air fryer or oven.
