You can never go wrong with Ina's Croissant Bread Pudding. I'd substitute dried cherries for the raisins, but that's my personal preference. Some people like to add a little cinnamon and nutmeg, too.

That Paul Prudhomme recipe looks a lot like what I used to make, with some small but significant changes:
- I never made a separate sauce (ie., not the lemon or chantilly)
- I always add some booze (bourbon is best, brandy (cognac) is good, or liquers like fra angelico, etc.)
- I use sliced brioche if I can find it, or challah (easier to find). The egg and butter enriched dough brings it to another level. However, I find that croissants are simply too much extra butter (have you ever made croissants?). -
I've used this recipe several times and substituted croissant for french bread. huge huge hit!
