When it comes to a holiday breakfast, I want festive yet easy with a ton of flavor. This Orange Cranberry Croissant Bake is just that. All of our favorite breakfast things baked into one beautiful dish: mini croissants sliced, drizzled with 100% orange juice, topped with fresh cranberries and baked with a custard mixture. This croissant bake will be the star on our holiday table. It can be prepared the day before and baked just before serving. A dusting of powdered sugar adds a touch of sweetness and a glass of 100% orange juice served along with a plateful of this croissant bake is my idea of a holiday celebration done right.

Simply Orange® Low Acid orange juice is perfect for this recipe. It has a smooth taste with less acid. It’s a 100% pure squeezed orange juice with calcium, never frozen, never concentrated and never sweetened. Besides enjoying it in a glass, it’s great used in cooking and baking. It’s my go to orange juice to serve to my family. Less acid and pulp free means they can enjoy it to the last drop.

I used mini croissants, sliced and arranged in two layers in a buttered 9″ x 5″ baking pan. I drizzled the croissant slices with Simply Orange Low Acid, arranged fresh cranberries and poured the milk and egg mixture over the entire dish. Once baked, the top croissant layer has a crispy, flaky top and perfectly set custard on the bottom. The cranberries pop during baking and add another layer of flavor. This dish is beautiful, festive and bursting with fresh flavors. Gentle dusting of powdered sugar is the final sweet touch.
