Strawberry and almond croissant bake

This strawberry and almond croissant bake is a yummy way to use up leftover, stale croissants. Furthermore, you can use vegan and gluten-free croissants and plant-based cream too. I used my homemade strawberry spread for this recipe, but you can use something similar or just jam. Also, I added some brandy to the cream, which made it extra special (Amaretto is even better!)
