Ingredients

• 8 cups day-old bread (e.g., French bread or brioche)
• 1 cup raisins
• 3 cups eggnog
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set it aside.

Step 3

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the raisins to the bowl and gently toss to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggnog, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the eggnog mixture over the bread and raisins in the mixing bowl. Gently toss the bread to ensure it is evenly coated with the custard mixture. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes to soak.

Step 6

Transfer the soaked bread mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center. You can test this by inserting a knife into the middle—it should come out mostly clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm on its own or with a drizzle of caramel sauce, whipped cream, or an extra splash of eggnog for added indulgence.
