This is Katie's amazing chocolate croissant bread pudding:



chocolate croissant bread pudding

6 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
1 cup half and half
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
8 chocolate croissants, cut into small pieces (go to your local bakery or try Trader Joe's for some decent frozen)

Heat oven to 375° F. Grease an 8-inch (approx) baking dish with butter. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, half and half, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Add the croissants and stir to coat. Transfer the mixture to the prepped baking dish. Place on a baking sheet just in case of spillage, and bake for approximately 40 minutes. Serves 6
