    Step 4: Bake

    Top halves of croissants dipped in egg mixture and placed on the bottom halves in the pan with fresh blueberries between.

    Variations

    Want to personalize this blueberry croissant French toast recipe? Here are some of my tried and true tips for changing up this recipe.

    • Cinnamon - Add a pinch of cinnamon to the egg mixture and the blueberry orange sauce.
