Ingredients
2 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 day-old croissants, torn into 1-inch chunks (about 5 cups)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened, for greasing the muffin tin
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Whipped cream, for serving, optional
Directions
Special equipment:
a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin- Whisk the eggs, yolks and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt until well blended. Add the milk, cream and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Add the croissant pieces, pressing to submerge them in the custard. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the croissants to absorb the custard.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with the butter.
- Stir the white chocolate chips into the croissant mixture, then evenly distribute the mixture among the muffin cups.
- Bake until puffed and just set, about 30 minutes. Cool on a rack for about 10 minutes, then remove the bread puddings from the tins. Serve warm, with whipped cream if desired.
