Description
Turn your leftover holiday eggnog into a comforting and easy Eggnog Bread Pudding. This recipe is simple to follow and tastes like a warm hug, perfect for using up that extra carton.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf stale bread (about 6 cups cubed)
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for topping/greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- Cube the stale bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggnog, milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the eggnog mixture evenly over the bread cubes. Gently press the bread down to soak up the liquid. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the pudding.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out almost clean.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- Using slightly stale bread helps the pudding hold its shape better.
- This is a great way to use up leftover holiday eggnog.
- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor.
