Leftover Croissants Thingamajig

[Isabeau]

So I had some croissants that had dried up. I didn’t want to waste them but I didn’t want to make croutons, so I made a thing. And it’s really good. Anyway, to my liking. It’s like a pudding bread that tastes like quiche.

I cut them up (4-5? Plus a few chicken à la king pastry things I was never going to use) into +/- big cubes, toasted them a tad with butter because they weren’t super hard;

- Mixed 4 eggs and 2 cups of milk in a large bowl;
-Added salt, pepper, 1 leek cut into round slices, and a lot of cheese (about 200g of Gouda in this case)
- Added the croissants/pastry pieces and mixed in gently
- Left it to soak for about half an hour in the fridge
- Buttered and parchemin papered a bread pan
- Poured in and slightly mushed/pressed in
- Baked for 55 minutes (my oven’s a bit off so maybe for you only 50 minutes) at 180C/350F
- Left it to stand on the counter, in the pan, till it cooled.

I just had two helpings.

I’m sure it’ll taste good cold, too, or sliced and toasted in a crepe pan. Maybe add some ham…

I had to look that up. Parchemin paper is French for parchment paper.

Oops Thanks!

This is one of the most French things I've read (that was translated into English). You had left over croissants and somehow crafted something that sounds delicious!

Ooh, next time I have leftover croissants, I'm going to have to try this!
