Whoo.

So I bought a container of croissants on sale, but they aren't very good croissants.  So, thinks I, why not make bread pudding with them? 

Note: I have never made bread pudding in my life.  In fact, I think I've only eaten bread pudding twice.  

However, nothing ventured, etc.  I looked up a few recipes online, noted baking time and temperature, and winged it.  I tore up enough croissants to half-fill the baking dish, dumped two eggs, a generous amount of sugar, and some cinnamon and nutmeg and vanilla into a pint of heavy cream (it's not a full-sized baking dish) and whisked it up, and let it soak a bit.  And on impulse, I sliced up some peaches and dumped those in too.  And baked it until it looked done. 

It's fabulous.  

I have no idea why my weird-ass impulse has generated a win.  But it's a very tasty win.  Now I'm thinking about repeating the experience, except with shredded cheese and bacon bits...and maybe some minced onion... 

...I need more heavy cream.
