4 whole eggs
1 egg yolk
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
7 large (5 1/2x4 1/2 inches) croissants, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (10 cups)

2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 bag (10 oz) frozen dark sweet cherries

Brush top of croissant pieces with butter; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Sprinkle with dried cherries.
  • Bake uncovered 55 to 65 minutes or until top is light golden brown (center will jiggle slightly). Cool 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix 1/4 cup sugar, the cornstarch and water until blended. Stir in frozen cherries. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve sauce over warm bread pudding. Store bread pudding and sauce covered in refrigerator.

I found that the bread pudding was a little dry. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.
