OM ALI RECIPE (EGYPTIAN BREAD PUDDING)

Om Ali (aka Um Ali) is a traditional Egyptian dessert that is the Middle Eastern version of bread pudding. My version is made with buttery toasted croissants, milk, and heavy cream, with a hint of cinnamon.

Add nuts in the pudding, or top it with some, it’s divine either way!
