Ingredients

2 croissants
¼ cut cream cheese
1 banana
8 fresh strawberries
3 eggs
½ cup half-and-half
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter or margarine, for frying
Confectioners’ sugar

Berry Topping:
½ cup of syrup
½ cup frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
2 tablespoons of brown sugar

Directions

Slice croissants lengthwise to make a butterfly shape.  Slice and mush four strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar.  Mush the bananas.  Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese on the inside of the bottom croissant half; add the bananas on top of the cream cheese and the strawberries on top of the bananas.  Fold halves together to re-form croissants.

In a medium bowl, whish together eggs, half-and-half, brown sugar, vanilla extract and a few shakes of cinnamon.  Soak croissants in batter for 20 to 25 minutes, let it get soggy.  In a skillet, fry croissants on both sides in butter for approximately 10 minutes.  Do not cook all the way through.  Cook in oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees until the croissants are puffed up and golden brown.  Garnish with remaining berries sliced into fan shapes (leave green hull intact).

For berry topping:  heat up the syrup, frozen berries and the brown sugar on the stove top.  Cook until fully heated.  Spoon over croissants and serve immediately.
