Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Tear day-old croissants into 1 to 2 inch pieces and layer them in the greased baking dish.
Wash and slice fresh strawberries, then scatter them evenly over the layer of croissants.
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over the strawberries.
Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture over the croissants and strawberries, ensuring even coverage.
Gently press down on the croissant layers to help them absorb the custard.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.
Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
