Croissant Pudding/Bread butter pudding


Croissant is made with one layer of butter sheet over a pastry sheet and then rolled to shape for baking. This is a heavy but protein rich breakfast with sufficient calories going in for a hectic day ahead. Those who are allergic to egg you get egg substitutes from grocery stores.


Ingredients(for two)


Croissant - 4 big( Or bread- 4, one bread cubed into 9 along with the brown edges since it is the healthy part to consume) 
Butter- 2 tbspn
Milk - half cup
Heavy cream - half cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Water - 1/4 cup to make caramel
Egg- 2
Vanilla-1 tspn


Directions:-





  • Caramelize the sugar. For this, boil the water with  sugar untill the water evaporates and the sugar starts turning golden brown. Do not burn it too much.
  • Add the whipping cream and milk.Heat till it is warm(not hot). Take the mixture off the stove (If it is a bread butter pudding, melt the butter into this mixture).
  • Beat the eggs and add into the warm mixture. Add the vanilla extract.
  • Pour this mixture over the broken pieces of croissant(or bread cubes)which is arranged in an oven proof tray. Let it stand for 15 min, so that bread gets fully soaked.
  • Now bake it in oven for about 20-30 min  at 350 F till the pudding is well set.
  • Note: Place a rack on the middle of the oven and preheat. Place the baking tray on this rack and bake.
    DONE.

    BON APPETITE :)
