Spring is finally here!

I’m trying to soak up as much of the nice weather that I can (even though it’s been unseasonably cold lately in Chicago) and indulge in lots of fresh fruit that’s slowly starting to come in season.

And one of my favorite fruits is strawberries. I eat them year round, fresh or frozen, and love adding them to baked goodies, smoothies, and yogurt.

So now that the weather is warming up, I’ve been consuming lots of strawberries lately. And since Mother’s Day and spring festivities are beginning to start, I thought I would take my passion for strawberries and turn it into the perfect brunch dish. After all, who doesn’t like brunch?

I was inspired to make this Strawberries and Cream Croissant Bake from my love for french toast. If you remember this banana caramel version or this eggnog bake, then you can see why I love french toast. It’s easy to make and perfect to prepare the night before and then pop it into the oven in the morning.

But instead of using french bread and the standard french toast ingredients, I decided to switch it up a bit and throw in some cream cheese. And that’s where my new favorite brunch dish comes into play!

And since I’m all about the easy recipes, I knew this croissant bake would be a deliciously sweet brunch for the warmer weather that’s headed our way. It also makes a decadent dish to serve on Mother’s Day, too!

Besides the fresh strawberries and croissants, the other star of this dish is Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Vanilla Milk. I’m a huge fan of Blue Diamond Almond Milk, so it only seemed natural that I used the vanilla kind for this sweet breakfast. It’s made with quality ingredients and contains the perfect amount of flavor.

And did I mention how easy this croissant bake is to make? I love that you can prep it the night before and bake it in the morning. But if you’re short on time, you can make it the same day, too.

You’ll start by layering some croissants onto the bottom of a casserole dish, followed by some sliced strawberries. Then, you’ll whip up the cream cheese mixture and pour over the croissants. And that’s all of the prep work? Pretty easy, huh?

You can refrigerate it overnight or for at least one hour before you bake it, ensuring the the croissants soak up all of that delicious cream cheese mixture.  When it’s time to bake, just pop it in the oven and let it work its magic!

• Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place chopped croissants in pan. Sprinkle with sliced strawberries. Set aside.
