Method
 

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 bowl, whisk together sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the eggs and beat, then pour in the eggnog.
  3. Cut bread into cubes and place in the greased dish. Pour custard over the bread, ensuring saturation.
  4. Let the dish rest covered for about 30 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until golden brown; knife should come out clean.
  6. Cool for 20-30 minutes before serving, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
