My boyfriend often brings home bagfuls of day-old croissants and morning buns from the fancy French breakfast place where he sometimes works. It feels just too sinful to munch on croissants day after day, so I created this recipe as a way to use them... More

Ingredients
  • 4 croissants (plain, almond, chocolate, whatever!) and/or morning buns
  • 2 C. soymilk or milk
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 C. sugar
  • 1 t. cinnamon
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 1/2 C. brandy (the cheap stuff is fine) (optional)
  • 1/3 C. raisins (optional)

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. Chop croissants into 1 or 2 inch squares and arrange in baking pan. If you are using different flavors, you may want to mix them all up together, or you might make an "almond zone" and "chocolate zone" and so on for your guests to sample.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Pour over croissants, pushing croissants into mixture until all pieces are saturated.
  4. Heat brandy and raisins together in a small pot over medium heat. When raisins are plump and juicy, sprinkle over top of pudding. You may also pour some or all of the brandy over the pudding as well (to taste).
  5. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.

You know, it is possible to like bread pudding AND munch on croissants nearly every day. Cooking is an amoral activity; even in this imperfect world, you can't be punished for taste (at least not yet).


This is a must try for me. Made a caramel apple foccacia that was ok, then morphed it into a caramel apple bread pudding. That was the cats meow. We all love croissants this is now on the to do list for sure.
Thanks

I have to try this - how clever! Love the idea of the brandy in there.
