CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray and set it aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat melted butter, 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon on medium speed for 2 minutes. If you don't have an electric or stand mixer, no worries because you can use a whisk to mix everything.
• Add in the eggs and beat until fully incorporated. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and beat until fully combined, about 2 minutes.
• Use your hands to tear the croissants into 1-inch pieces and layer into the prepared pan.
• Pour the egg mixture over the croissants. Gently push the croissant pieces down to ensure even coverage with the egg mixture. Cover with foil and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to soak.
• In a small bowl, mix together the 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. After the bread pudding as rested for 15 minutes, sprinkle this mixture over the top. Cover again with the foil.
• Leave the bread pudding covered with the foil and bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to brown the top. The bread pudding is done when the custard is set, but still soft.
• Allow to cool. Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries.

CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla. Set the custard mixture aside. Slice the croissants in half horizontally. In a 10 by 15 by 2 1/2-inch oval baking dish, distribute the bottoms of the sliced croissants, then add the raisins, then the tops of the croissants (brown side up), being sure the raisins are between the layers of croissants or they will burn while baking. Pour the custard over the croissants and allow to soak for 10 minutes, pressing down gently.
• Place the pan in a larger one filled with 1-inch of hot water. Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 40 to 45 more minutes or until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CROISSANT BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Generously butter an ovenproof dish that measures about 20 x 30cm (8 x 12 inches).
• Arrange a single layer of croissant chunks, slightly overlapping, in the bottom of the dish. Scatter over some of the raisins, place another layer of croissant chunks on top and scatter over the remaining raisins. Press down gently with a fish slice or spatula.
• To make the custard, heat the cream and milk in a saucepan until the mixture comes almost to the boil. Remove from the heat. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, ground cinnamon and sugar in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the mixture is thickened and the whisk or beaters leave a trail when lifted. Remove from the heat and beat in the cream mixture until well combined.
• Pour two-thirds of the custard over the croissants and leave to stand for about 30 minutes or until they have soaked up all the liquid. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
• Pour the remaining custard over the soaked croissants and press down firmly with a fish slice or spatula so that the custard reaches halfway up the croissants. Place the dish in a roasting pan and pour in enough water to come a third of the way up the side of the dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the custard is just set and the top is golden brown. Serve immediately.
