BLUEBERRY CROISSANT PUFF
I’ve eaten my weight in chicken noodle soup this week. Being sick is no fun at all. I’m having a hard time kicking it.
But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and am actually craving something that has to be chewed and not slurped.
I had someone email me and ask me if had something against blueberries because there are hardly any blueberry recipes on this site. Nope. Not true at all.
I just have a hard time making time and room for every food in my life. It’s a tough problem.
But just in case you do in fact have something against blueberries, any fruit would be fabulous in this.
How can you go wrong with cut up buttery croissants, fruit, and a cream cheese milk mixture that is baked until golden brown.
The cream cheese is not overpowering at all and this would be perfect for breakfast or even dessert. This could be easily doubled and put in a 9X13 pan.
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries.
The mixture may seem wet but it soaks into all the layers of the croissants.
You could definitely double this in a 9×13 baking dish.
