Ingredients
- 1 loaf artisan crusty bread, cut into 1 inch chunks

Instructions
Cut artisan loaf into 1 inch chunks. Save several pieces to put on top at the end. Layer chunks evenly in a 9x13 pan.

Pour cream cheese mixture over croissants and berries. Make sure everything is well incorporated, then add saved loaf pieces on top spread out, pressing in slightly.

Notes
1. We used artisan loaf bread in this recipe, but any other bread option would work. Croissants, french bread, brioche bread, etc. --- 2. Use full fat cream cheese and preferably milk as well for this recipe. --- 3. If you don't have time for overnight, or you forgot, let the casserole at least sit for 30 minutes before cooking. The longer it sits, the better the bread will soak up the sauce and will be more flavorful. --- 4. We use frozen berries for this recipe because it is usually what we have on hand. Just make sure to let it thaw out a bit before using. --- 5. You can half the recipe easily, and put in an 8x8 or 9x9 sized pan.
