Baking

I’ve been experimenting with ideas for breakfast bread puddings or baked French toast. I didn’t want too much bread and I wanted to include caramelized fruit. When I saw a package of fresh croissants at Costco, the idea came together. <br /> <br />I wanted to bake them in individual containers. There’s something very appealing about having our own single serving. I found Italian jam jars at a local restaurant supply store and knew they would be perfect. Whatever you bake this in, it has to be oven safe. Any jam jar will work but I used a 5-oz size. I think this is a perfect size, especially if you have a large menu. <br /> <br />I use caramelized apples with raisins but you can easily substitute dried figs, pears or any summer stone fruit. You can change up the spices by adding ginger or cardamom. <br /> <br />Another reason you’ll come back to this recipe over and over again is that you prepare it the night before and bake it in the morning. Pretty simple and the house smells wonderful!
