  4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully blended.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissants and blueberries, pressing them down gently to soak.
Baking
  1. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavor, then bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and fluffy.
