EggNog Bread Pudding
Here in south Louisiana, bread pudding is a staple.  During the Christmas season, egg nog is a staple.  What better way to celebrate the season than to combine the two for an out-of-this-world dessert with egg nog bread pudding! This is one of the easiest bread pudding recipes ever!  You can switch it up and get as creative as you want.  I saw someone used croissants.  Heck, you can use just regular sandwich bread if you want.  You’ll still get the same flavor, just a different consistency.  You can even substitute the bread with about 6 cups of cooked rice and make rice pudding.  The possibilities are endless.  If you’re just looking for a great bread pudding recipe, then this is it 🙂  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Gather your ingredients:
- 1 (12 ounces) loaf French bread cut into 2 inch cubes
- 1 stick of butter
- 3 cups eggnog
- 2 cups whole or 2% milk
- 5 large eggs
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp maple extract (you can use vanilla or run extact too)
Glaze
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tbsp egg nog
Get to cooking:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat the eggnog, milk, & butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted.
- While the butter is melting; combine the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and extract in a large mixing bowl and mix well.  Gradually mix in the eggnog mixture and mix on medium for about 2 minutes.
- Place the bread cubes in a well oiled (I use non-stick cooking spray) 9 X 13 oven-proof pan.  Pour the liquid mixture over the bread cubes, and gently press down with a spoon.  Make sure all of the bread is soaked in the liquid then cover with foil.
- Place pan in oven and bake for an hour or until the pudding is “set” (no longer liquid). Â Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
- While the bread pudding is cooling, melt 1/2 sick of butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Â Once the butter is melted, turn the heat off and add powdered sugar and eggnog. Â Wisk the ingredients together until smooth, the drizzle over the top of the bread pudding.
- ENJOY!  Bread pudding can be eaten hot or cold. Either way, it is delicious 🙂  YUM!
