How to Make Croissant And Chocolate Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square or other shallow 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Add 6-8 croissants, cut into 1-inch pieces, and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate bar). Gently fold to combine, ensuring croissants are evenly coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the pudding is set and lightly golden brown.
  5. Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
