Instructions

Liberally spray the 9x9 dish with non stick spray.
Spread the chopped croissant pieces in the prepared dish. Spread them out in an even layer. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly out overtop.
Add the sugar and cream cheese to a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, blend together until smooth and evenly combined.
Add the eggs, lemon juice, and extract- mixing together again until the mixture's smooth & creamy.
Add the milk in slowly, continuing to whip the mixture, until it's all evenly incorporated. Pour this evenly over the dish. Cover and let the dish sit for 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes- until the mixture's set and the top's golden brown and crusty.
Carefully remove the hot pastry bake from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
Cut into slices, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure you let the croissants sit in the custard prior to baking. If you skip this, parts of the croissants will be sort of dry.
You can substitute other berries for the blueberries. Both sliced strawberries and raspberries would be good in this.
Not a morning person? Make it the night before to let the dish soak overnight. Then just pop it in the oven in the morning.
