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.
