This delicious croissant bread pudding is crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. It's so easy to make and a great way to use up leftover croissants!

Equipment

  • 1 8" baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 4 stale, day-old croissants
  • 275 mL milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • fresh fruits
  • pistachios
  • powdered sugar
  • maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Slice croissants in half lengthwise and in half again widthwise. Cut the bottom halves into cubes and place them into an 8" baking dish.
  • Whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and pour this over the croissant pieces.
  • Arrange the top halves of the croissants on top of the baking dish and press down to soak in the milk mixture. Let this sit while you preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with fresh fruit, nuts, powdered sugar, and serve while warm with maple syrup!

Notes

Add more milk if your croissants are particularly dry and appear to be soaking up all of the liquid.
