- Pour the egg mixture over the croissants. Gently push the croissant pieces down to ensure even coverage with the egg mixture. Cover with foil and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to soak.
- In a small bowl, mix together the 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. After the bread pudding as rested for 15 minutes, sprinkle this mixture over the top. Cover again with the foil.

CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING WITH BRANDY CREAM SAUCE
My good friend Sharon Stein shared this recipe with me a while back. I knew by looking at it how wonderful it would be. The original recipe called for a cornstarch-thickened caramel sauce, but I usually change it to reflect a true caramel sauce, as well as substituting blueberries for the raisins...exquisite!
