SAVORY SEAFOOD BREAD PUDDING

Ingredients

• 2 cups diced croissants
• 2 cups diced sourdough bread
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 4 eggs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 ounces crab meat
• 8 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 ounces scallops
• Zest and juice of 2 lemons
• 1⁄2 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped green onions
• 1 cup chopped mushrooms
• 1 cup chopped tomato
• Putting it together

In a large bowl, toss the croissant and bread pieces with the butter until evenly coated. Spread the pieces in a single layer on a large baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the chicken stock, cream, eggs and salt and pepper. Stir until well combined, then add the remaining ingredients. Add the toasted bread pieces and stir gently to combine. Add the mixture to a large baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for about one hour, or until the center is fully cooked.

Serve while hot and enjoy.
