Instructions
- Creating Cozy Up with Homemade Eggnog Bread Pudding is simple when following these easy steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread. If desired, add raisins and chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
- Mix Custard: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes. Gently stir to ensure all bread pieces are coated.
- Let It Soak: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes, giving the bread time to soak up the custard.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dessert effortlessly!
