Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croissants

    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Mix the Custard

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Milk and Cream

    In a separate bowl, combine the milk and heavy cream. Slowly pour this mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to ensure a smooth custard.

  4. 4

    Combine Croissants and Custard

    Once the custard is well mixed, pour it evenly over the croissant pieces in the baking dish. Gently stir to ensure all pieces are coated.

  5. 5

    Soak the Mixture

    Allow the croissants to soak in the custard mixture for about 15-20 minutes. This will help them absorb the flavors and moisture.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a sauce of your choice.
