Ingredients

  • 3 croissants
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar or granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon for a non-alcoholic version you can substitute 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs beaten

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Lightly grease a 500-milliliter capacity oven-proof dish.
  • Tear the croissant into pieces and lay them in the dish.
  • Place a heavy-bottomed pot on low flame and add the cane sugar and water, stirring until dissolved. Then raise the heat and let bubble for 3 to 5 minutes, not stirring until it turns a deep amber color.
  • Lower the heat to the lowest setting and stir the cream into the caramel, followed by the milk and bourbon or vanilla.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the beaten eggs.
  • Pour this mixture over the croissants and let them sit for 10 minutes to soak it up.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until you see all the liquid has solidified.
