1

Gather your ingredients

First things first, gather all the items you'll need for this heavenly bread pudding. You'll need 4 leftover French croissants (the flakier, the better), 2 and a half cups of milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 4 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for garnish.

2

Preheat and slice

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating up, slice your croissants into roughly 1-inch thick pieces. Don't worry about being too precise - we like our bread pudding with a little character!

3

Make the custard

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Keep whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Think of this as your magical potion that will make the bread pudding oh-so-creamy!

4

Soak and rest

Now it's time to give those croissant slices a luxurious milk bath. Place the croissant pieces into a baking dish that can hold them all snugly. Pour the custard mixture over the croissants, making sure to soak each piece thoroughly. Let the croissants soak for about 20 minutes, allowing them to soak up all that creamy goodness. Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to dessert!

5

Bake and enjoy

Pop the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread pudding is golden brown and set. Once it's done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a bit. Dust the top with some powdered sugar for a touch of elegance. Now, it's time to dig in and enjoy every blissful bite!
