Blueberry Lemon-Zest Croissant Puff

We enjoyed an Easter Brunch...our first holiday in the new house! I decided to try a new recipe simply because it looked so good in the pictures I saw on Pinterest...I am a sucker for food that looks delectable in photos. I altered the recipe a bit and had to double it to feed my crew, but it was so good AND every child liked it. (Sometimes it is the little miracles in life that bring joy!)

Blueberry Lemon-Zest Baked Croissant Puff 

2 8oz cream cheese packages, softened to room temp
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cup sugar
lemon zest
2 cups milk
Blueberries...as many as you want
6 croissants
(These ingredients are the doubled sizes to accommodate a 9x13 pan)

 Break, cut or tear your croissants into bit size pieces

Add cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, sugar and lemon zest to mixer. 

 This is how a mom with a cranky 4mth old cooks Easter Brunch...gotta do whatcha gotta do!

 

Cream together eggs, cream cheese, lemon zest, vanilla and sugar. Then slowly add milk. (I had some cream cheese chunks because it wasn't completely softened, but I didn't mind, and does not affect taste.) 

Add blueberries (I used frozen because fresh were not on sale, but would have preferred fresh)

Pour mixture over croissants and blueberries

Bake at 350 for approximately 40min, or until firm. Enjoy warm with a sprinkling of powdered sugar!!
