easy to make

Tear the croissants into pieces and place them in an ovenproof casserole dish. You can also serve individual portions in small molds or, traditionally, in a tagine. Stir the chopped almonds and raisins into the croissants. Heat the milk with sugar, vanilla sugar, and 2 tablespoons of sour cream in a saucepan. Spread the remaining sour cream on top in dollops. Pour the hot milk into the dish, but don’t fill it so full that it overflows. Preheat the oven to 200°C and place the upper half of the casserole dish on a wire rack for 20 minutes, until the crust is golden yellow. Serve warm, but not too hot. Tip: The quantities of the ingredients can be adjusted, especially the sugar, as Egyptians like things very sweet.
