Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Eggnog Bread Pudding
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Add in large eggs and mix, then gradually incorporate room-temperature eggnog until creamy.
  3. Cut stale challah or brioche bread into cubes and distribute them evenly in the greased baking dish. Pour the custard mixture over the bread and gently toss to coat.
  4. Press down slightly on the bread, cover with foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes to absorb the custard.
  5. Remove the foil and bake for 45-55 minutes until golden brown and set; a knife inserted should come out clean.
  6. Let cool for 20-30 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
