    Black and White Croissant Bread Pudding

    This dessert is a big hit at parties in the Hollywood Hills, especially in the cooler months.

    Croissant Bread and Butter Pudding

    Instead of using the traditional slices of bread, I like to use croissants for this pudding as they create a light dish. Serve with jugs of Butterscotch Sauce and Crème Anglaise so that everyone can help themselves.

    Mushroom, Leek, and Brioche Stuffing

    This French-inspired recipe is the perfect side for a roast chicken. You can substitute challah for the buttery brioche--just note that you may require a bit more liquid since the bread should be soaked through.

    Oyster Casserole

    Instead of oyster dressing or scalloped oysters, try an ethereal bread-crumb pudding packed with plump, perfectly cooked bivalves. Their brininess helps to cut the richness of the custard.
