Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 cups milk
• 4 bananas, cut into small chunks
• 10 croissants, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream, or more to taste
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup rum (such as Captain Morgan®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk milk, sugar, butter, and eggs together in a large bowl. Add bananas. Add croissants and mix well.

Step 3

Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Refrigerate for 1 hour so croissants can absorb some of the liquid.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until center is set and top is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, butter, and rum in a saucepan. Cook and stir until melted together, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream. Pour warm sauce over the bread pudding right before serving.
