Description
Eggnog Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce is a delicious dessert that combines the festive flavors of eggnog and warm spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups of stale bread, cubed (such as brioche or challah)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raisins (optional)
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread. If desired, toss in raisins and chopped nuts for added texture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cubed bread. Gently fold the bread in to ensure all pieces are soaked evenly.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes, giving the bread time to absorb the custard.
- Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream, cooking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Remove from heat and stir in the dark rum and vanilla extract. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm for best flavor.
- Can be topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
