Bread Pudding
My hubby’s favorite dessert but he can’t have it any more since his heart attack. But it is yummy! My daughter Rebecca gave me the recipe (backwards I know) but we changed it a bit to make it taste like dh’s mother’s bread pudding. Becky said this is a bit hit on covered dish night at church.
2 cans of croissants (first bake then slice open)
3 whole eggs
8 egg yolks – (you can use the egg whites to make a lemon meringue pie)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 cups milk – 2%
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup raisins
Arrange cut croissants in a greased 13×9 pan. Sprinkle raisins over croissants. Combine eggs, egg yolks, heavy whipping cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla and whisk until well blended. Pour over croissants. Hold croissants under cream mixture for 10 minutes (very important). Bake covered for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover and bake 30-45 more minutes, or until golden brown. Enjoy!
We made this recipe and it was a huge hit at our church bring-a-dish. Thank you.
