Ingredients

1 cup half and half

2 large eggs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brandy (don't skip the brandy, it really makes the flavor sing)

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

8 Tbsp. blueberry jam

4 regular-size croissants, cut horizontally, or 8 petite croissants

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

1 pint fresh blueberries

Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

1. In a wide bowl or baking dish, whisk together half and half, eggs, sugar, brandy, cinnamon and salt.

2. Spread 2 tablespoons jam on each of 4 croissant halves (1 tablespoon if using petite croissants); top each with a plain croissant half, pressing to adhere.

3. Place croissants in custard turn to coat. Let soak for a few minutes until custard is absorbed, turning and basting often.

4. In a large heavy skillet or electric frying pan over medium-high heat, melt butter.

5. Add croissants and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

6. Transfer to serving plates.

7. Add blueberries to same skillet and sauté until heated through, about 3 minutes.

8. Spoon berries over croissants.

9. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
