1 Begin the Bread Pudding
Stem and coarsely chop rosemary. Add cranberries and 1/4 cup hot tap water to a medium mixing bowl. Allow cranberries to sit 5 minutes. Cut baguette into 1/2" dice. Add cream,liquid egg, half of rosemary (reserve remaining for Brussels sprouts), and goat cheese (reserve 1 tsp. for garnish) to bowl containing cranberries. Add 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.
-
2 Bake the Bread Pudding
Add diced bread to cream-egg mixture. Stir together and set aside to absorb and soften, 5 minutes. Pour bread pudding mixture into prepared small casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake until firm but still slightly jiggly, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle on remaining goat cheese, and rest 5 minutes. While bread pudding bakes, make sweet potato.
-
3 Mash the Sweet Potato
Peel and cut sweet potato into 1/2" dice. Add 1/3 the butter to medium pot and melt over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato and cook until lightly browned, 2-4 minutes. Add orange juice and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes, then reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook until sweet potato is tender and 1/4 cup liquid or less remains, 7-10 minutes. Remove from burner and, using potato masher or fork, mash sweet potato until mostly smooth. Add water 1 Tbsp. at a time if sweet potatoes are too firm. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. While sweet potato cooks, make brown butter.

4 Make the Brown Butter Pecans
Trim bottoms off Brussels sprouts and halve vertically (quarter if larger than ping pong balls). Add remaining butter and pecans to a medium pan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter begins to smell "nutty", turn golden, and brown flecks appear, 5-6 minutes. Remove brown butter and pecans from pan, wipe pan clean, and reserve.
-
5 Cook the Brussels Sprouts
Return pan used to cook brown butter pecans to medium heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and Brussels sprouts to hot pan, cut side down. Cook undisturbed until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until Brussels sprouts are browned and tender, 4-6 minutes. Toss with remaining rosemary, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Remove from burner.

6 Plate the Dish
Place rosemary Brussels sprouts into a serving dish. Add sweet potatoes to a serving dish and spoon brown butter and pecans on top. Serve bread pudding in casserole dish it was baked in.
