Berry croissant bake

When you have stale croissants, don’t throw them away! You can use them for lovely croffle sandwiches or French toasts for breakfast, or easy & yummy desserts like this berry croissant bake. I used ready-made Madagascar custard, but feel free to make your own custard for the recipe. As to the berries - blueberries, cherries and raspberries would work too.
