This dessert is a big hit at parties in the Hollywood Hills, especially in the cooler months. It's probably one of my most deceptive desserts--everyone thinks it's complex to prepare, but it's one of the simplest desserts in my repertoire. When the bread pudding is firm to the touch, you know it's done.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom of a 9-by-5-by-3-inch baking dish with your hands.
- In a large bowl, whisk whole eggs and yolks, cream, and milk with the 1/2 cup brown sugar and vanilla extract.
- Tear up croissants and mix with egg mixture until well combined.
- Spoon half of the egg-croissant mixture into the baking dish, sprinkle with half of the dark and white chocolate chips, top with more egg croissant mixture, and finish with remaining chocolate. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
- Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
- Remove from oven. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche or whipped cream.
