Indulge in the festive magic with this delicious Eggnog Bread Pudding!

Ingredients:

  • 8 cups of cubed bread (preferably day-old)

  • 2 cups of eggnog

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup of granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

  • 1/2 cup of raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions:

  . Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.

  . In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and eggnog. Let it soak for about 10 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the eggnog.

  . In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

  . For the egg mixture over the bread and eggnog, ensuring all the bread is coated. Add grapes or cranberries if desired.

  . Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

  . Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

  . Allow the bread pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra festive touch.

Serve warm and enjoy the heavenly blend of eggnog goodness in every bite!
