Ingredients

4 eggs
3 cups half-and-half
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 large croissants, torn into 1-inch pieces (about 12 cups)
1 1/4 cups raspberries
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Powdered sugar

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
2

In large bowl, beat eggs, half-and-half, granulated sugar, vanilla, almond extract and salt with whisk.
3

Place torn croissants in baking dish; pour egg mixture over top. Push down gently so croissants absorb custard.
4

Let stand 10 minutes, and press again. Arrange raspberries on top of croissant mixture. Sprinkle almonds over top.
5

Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until browned and puffy. Let stand 15 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.
