Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 cup eggnog
  • 0.75 cup beaten eggs about 4 large eggs
  • 0.55 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.75 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp fine salt
  • 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries
  • 1 tbsp bourbon or dark rum optional
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting, optional
  • 1 cup lightly sweetened whipped cream for serving, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little butter.
  • Cube the bread and spread it in the dish. Sprinkle raisins evenly over the top.
  • Melt the butter gently and let it cool for a minute.
  • Whisk eggnog, beaten eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  • Whisk in the melted butter, then stir in bourbon or rum if using.
  • Pour the custard evenly over the bread. Press gently so all cubes soak. Let stand 10–12 minutes.
  • Set the dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 40–45 minutes until puffed, golden, and the center barely jiggles.
  • Rest 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with whipped cream.

Notes

Variation: Swap half the raisins for chopped toasted pecans, or fold in a handful of chocolate chips. For extra holiday flair, drizzle with warm caramel sauce. Storage: Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat covered at 300°F until warm.
