Croissant Bread Pudding
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 50 min
Prep: 10 min
Inactive: 10 min
Cook: 1 hr 30 min
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
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
Directions
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.

I buy stale croissants when I can find them. Honestly, I do not notice any difference in the final product, but the stale ones are obviously cheaper. Today I bought a dozen croissants at CostCo for $6.00, or $0.050/each. They are every bit as good as our local bakery, which charges $5.00 for ONE fresh croissant, or $2.50 for day-old. If I had to pay $5 per croissant, I could not afford to make this dessert.

I have been making this for 10+ years, and it is always awesome. To prevent myself from eating the whole thing, I usually make individual servings in ramekins. I top each ramekin with the center portion of a croissant, brown side up. This is just for presentation purposes, as each serving has a nice rounded dome.

Made the obligatory traditional Thanksgiving pies today and this as a surprise dessert. I tweaked it a bit though. Added orange zest and vanilla bean to the custard and substituted chocolate chips for the raisins. Served it with an orange sauce and got raves. It IS quite easy to make and looks lovely in a nice oblong dish.

This has been my most requested dish for the last 5 Thanksgivings.

What is the meaning of 5 cups of half and half. Does it mean equal amount of milk and cream to make up 5 cups of half and half.
Please confirm is it 3 egg yolks and not 8. It seems a lot.

I love the way she implies that she came up with the idea of croissant pudding! 🤣🤣🤣

Made this and took to work, everyone absolutely loved it and the entire dish was gone in no time. You can’t go wrong with buttery croissants, out of this world rich custard, and plump raisins. I did add a bit of cinnamon to the custard mixture though. I bet this would make great baked rice pudding, will have to try it and see. Thanks Ina!!!

I have made croissant bread pudding with golden raisins and pecans for over twenty years. It is a Christmas favorite, with a vanilla rum sauce.

Why does the camera have to be so close to the ingredients, and Ina's face? It looks so hectic and makes me dizzy. I hate this filming technique, so disrespectful. I want to see not get hurried. I had to stop and go to another show.

Plz correct written recipe as you said 3 whole eggs and 5 egg yolks but in the written recipe it says 8 egg yolks. It would seriously ruin someone’s dish if they follow the written recipe. Thank you
