The ingredients for Kickin' Croissant Bread Pudding are:

7 eggs lightly beaten
3 Cups heavy cream
3 Cups milk (2% calculated here)
1/2 (.5) Cup white sugar
1/2 (.5) Cup honey
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 (.25) tsp nutmeg
12 large croissants
1/2 (.5) Cup of chopped (I like dark) chocolate
1/2 (.5) Cup of Caisins

Here is how you make Kickin' Croissant Bread Pudding:

First start by heating the oven to 350 F. Slice the croissants into slices about 1/2" or so either direction you'd like. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake until golden brown. This will probably take a few times since they won't all fit on a cookie sheet at one time.While doing that, in a large bowl combine the eggs, cream, milk, sugar, honey, vanilla, and nutmeg. Mix well, I like to use a whisk. Set aside.In a Buttered 9x13 pan layer half of the croissants on the bottom then pour half of the egg mixture over the croissants, let that soak for a little while. Then sprinkle all of the chocolate "chips" and Craisins over that.Next layer the rest of the croissants on top and pour the rest of the egg mix over that. Let it soak a little while. You may want to dust the top with a little nutmeg.TO BAKE: Cover the pan with parchment paper (if you have it) as well as a layer of aluminum foil over that. Or just a heavy layer or two of foil.Put that 13x9 pan on a cookie sheet, put water in that cookie sheet, then cover the whole thing with foil to keep the moisture in.Bake for about 60 to 70 minutes or until knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Usually ends up being the higher time for me.Serve warm sprinkled with powdered sugar or if you dare, with the Caramel Sauce recipe in this cookbook.(you'll have to add that nutrition information too if you use that)Figure to cut into 24 pieces for the nutrition calculations noted here.Number of Servings: 24Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BARETREES130.
