Ingredients
-
7 large croissants, cut into large cubes
-
cooking spray
-
1 cup blueberries
-
6 large eggs
-
2 cups whole milk
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
¾ cup white sugar
-
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
-
1 teaspoon almond extract
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out croissant cubes on top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until croissant cubes are very dry, 30 to 35 minutes. Turn off the oven and cool cubes slightly.
-
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish, add dried croissants, and evenly distribute the blueberries among the croissant cubes.
-
Whisk eggs together in a large bowl. Add milk, heavy cream, sugar, butter, almond extract, cinnamon, and salt; whisk until well blended. Pour the custard mixture over the croissants, and push croissant cubes down with the palm of your hand or a large spatula to fully submerge. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the bread to absorb all of the custard.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until the top is puffed and golden and the custard is set in the center, 40 to 45 minutes.
-
Remove the bread pudding to a rack and let cool for 10 minutes.
