Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). If using fresh croissants, lightly toast them for about 5 minutes. Cut croissants into bite-sized pieces and place in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in dill and lemon zest.
  3. Layer croissant pieces in the prepared baking dish. Pour custard mixture over croissants, pressing down gently.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
  5. Remove cover and bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  6. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
