Using store bought croissants makes this breakfast easy to make, but fancy to look at. The croissants are cubed and placed in a baking dish with fresh berries. Cream cheese is beaten and then milk, sugar, eggs and vanilla are blended in. Then the cream cheese mixture is poured over the croissants and berries. After refrigerating overnight, this casserole is baked and served warm.
