Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large oranges, divided
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
4 large croissants (about 3 oz each)
4 eggs
1 cup half and half
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp sugar

Steps:

  • Position oven rack to middle setting. Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove segments from one orange using Paring Knife (see Cook's Tip). Cut segments in half; set aside. Zest remaining orange using Microplane® Adjustable Fine Grater to measure 1 tsp zest; set aside. Juice orange to measure 1/4 cup juice. Combine orange juice, water and cranberries in Stainless (10-in.) Skillet (do not use nonstick cookware). Bring to a boil; simmer 2 minutes or until cranberries are softened. 2 Meanwhile, slice croissants into 1-in. cubes using Bread Knife; place cubes in Stainless (6-qt.) Mixing Bowl. Add orange segments and cranberry mixture; toss gently and spoon into Skillet. 3 In Classic Batter Bowl, whisk eggs and orange zest. Combine half and half and condensed milk in Large Micro-Cooker®; microwave on HIGH 3-4 minutes or until hot. Slowly add milk mixture to egg mixture; whisk well. Pour egg mixture over croissants; lightly press down to coat. 4 Sprinkle sugar evenly over pudding. Bake 14-16 minutes or until Digital Pocket Thermometer registers 155°F in center. Without moving Skillet from middle oven rack, turn broiler on HIGH. Broil 3-4 minutes or until top of pudding is golden brown.
