umm ali

Om Ali (aka Um Ali) is a delicious Egyptian dessert that’s the Middle Eastern version of bread pudding. My version is made with buttery croissants, milk and heavy cream, with a hint of cardamom. Add nuts in the pudding, or top it with some, it’s divine either way.

Om Ali Recipe (Egyptian Bread Pudding)

croissants

milk

heavy cream

sugar

cinnamon powder (optional)

Assorted nuts

Preheat oven to 200 C. Arrange the croissant pieces on a baking sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes or so, until they’re slightly crispy.

While the croissants are crisping up, add milk, heavy cream, sugar, and cardamom powder to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and remove from heat.

Place the croissant pieces in an ovenproof dish and then pour over the hot milk mixture.

Now spread the whipped cream all over the surface of the om ali, and turn on the broiler of the oven.

Place the cast iron skillet in the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes or so, until the top is golden brown.

Remove from oven and top with slivered pistachios or your favorite nuts and raisins.

Let rest for a few minutes, and then serve. Om Ali tastes best when warm, but its good to eat cold as well.
