Ingredients for Almond Raspberry Croissant Breakfast Pudding

  • Plain Croissants
  • Butter
  • Raspberry Jam
  • Amaretto
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • Almond Paste
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

How to Make Almond Raspberry Croissant Breakfast Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, almond extract, and milk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, gently toss the raspberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar to prevent them from releasing too much juice.
  4. Cut croissants into bite-sized pieces and arrange them evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissants, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
  6. Gently fold in the raspberries.
  7. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
  10. Optional: Top with extra raspberries and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
