Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Eggnog Bread Pudding
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then gradually pour in the eggnog, whisking until smooth.
  3. Add the stale bread to the custard mixture and gently toss to coat. Let it soak for a moment.
  4. Press down the bread mixture gently to ensure it absorbs the custard. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 45 to 55 minutes. Remove foil last 15 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream or eggnog sauce.
