Making 5-Star Easy Croissant Bread Pudding is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Croissants: Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them in the greased baking dish evenly.
3. Mix Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine: Pour the custard mixture over the torn croissant pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated. Gently press the croissants down to soak up the custard.
5. Rest: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes for the croissants to absorb the custard.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
8. Serve: Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with fresh berries or whipped cream.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create a dessert that is sure to impress and delight everyone who tries it.
