Ingredients
- 4-5 cups large croissants dried and cubed (approximately 4-1/2when curbed)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup nuts toasted (I prefer hazelnuts or almonds, but this is the cook’s preference)
- 1 cup dried michigan cherries * If cherries are not available fresh blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries can be used. Fresh fruit should be firm and added at the very end so it is not “crushed” by stirring., soaked in 1 tablespoon of water if too dry
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract cook’s preference
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
