Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 extra-large whole eggs
8 extra-large egg yolks
5 cups half-and-half
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 croissants, preferably stale
1 cup raisins

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.

Categories     Bread     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Raisin     Vanilla

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

Equipment:
Measuring cups
Large roasting pan
7 x 11-inch glass or porcelain baking dish
Cutting board
Bread knife
Paring knife
Zippered-top plastic bag
Electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment
Wooden spoon
Wire rack
Ingredients:
3/4 cup golden raisins
3 to 4 day-old croissants (about 12 ounces total)
3 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the roasting pan in the oven and pour 1/2 inch of hot water into it.
  • 2. Scatter the raisins across the bottom of the glass baking dish. Cut the croissants into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place on top of the raisins in the dish.
  • 3. Combine the milk, whole eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. With the paring knife, split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Place one half in the plastic bag and reserve for another use. Scrape the seeds from the other half into the bowl. Discard the scraped bean half. Beat on medium-low speed with the mixer until well blended and a little frothy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • 4. Pour the egg mixture over the croissants and press the bread with the back of the spoon to make sure that everything is submerged. Let stand a minute or two, pressing with the spoon once or twice, to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture. Carefully place the dish in the pan of hot water and bake until golden and just set, about 50 minutes.
  • 5. Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven, then remove the baking dish from the pan and let cool on the wire rack. Serve slightly warm or let cool completely, refrigerate covered with plastic wrap up to 24 hours, and serve chilled.

Categories     Brunch     Dessert     Bake     St. Patrick's Day     Casserole/Gratin     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 8

70g (5 tbsp) softened butter, for greasing
6-8 croissants (crescent rolls), cut into large pieces
50g (1/3 cup) raisins
300ml (1 1/4 cups) double (heavy) cream
300ml (1 1/4 cups) milk
4 eggs
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
70g (1/3 cup) caster (superfine) sugar

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bread, including croissants, raisin bread, and challah, to create a rich and flavorful bread pudding.
  • For a sweeter bread pudding, use more raisins or add other dried fruits, such as cranberries or cherries.
  • If you want a more decadent bread pudding, add chocolate chips, nuts, or caramel sauce.
  • Serve bread pudding warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Leftover bread pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a variety of breads and add-ins to choose from, you can create a bread pudding that is sure to please everyone. So next time you have some leftover bread, don't throw it away - make bread pudding instead!
