Ingredients

3 cups half and half
4 large eggs
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6-8 large day old croissants
1 cup pecan pieces, roughly chopped
1/2 cup butter cold and cut in 1 inch pieces
3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup rolled oats

6-8 large day old croissants, 4 large eggs, 3 cups half and half, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1 cup pecan pieces, roughly chopped
To make the crumble: Add the butter, brown sugar, salt, and oats in a bowl. With fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the mixture together until it resembles a coarse crumble. Sprinkle over the croissants. For the best results, cover and refrigerate overnight in order for the croissants to soak up some of the liquid.
1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 cup rolled oats
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the croissant bread pudding, covered with tin foil, for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake for an additional 30 minutes or until crisp and fragrant.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
