    This eggnog bread pudding recipe is a completely decadent way to enjoy the flavors of the season.  Be sure to pair it with my homemade vanilla sauce!

    Egg Nog Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce recipe

    If, like me, you love the taste of egg nog but your stomach can't really stand the richness of it as a drink, you are  absolutely going to love my eggnog bread pudding recipe.

    Sweet enough to be a dessert (especially with the vanilla sauce) or simple enough for a weekend breakfast (just dust with some powdered sugar), this is a great way to use up that leftover egg nog (or if you are an egg-nog-aholic, you can always make my easy egg nog recipe and have it year-round).

    challah

    One of the keys to my eggnog bread pudding recipe is the bread.  Growing up, my mother always made homemade challah bread and used it for making french toast, bread puddings and more.  I am lucky that I can usually find challah at the grocery store (until I start making it myself), so that is what I use.  If you can't find or make challah bread, you can always use French bread or, in a pinch, even just "regular" bread!

    If what you want is a nice custard-like bread pudding, you will want to make sure that, once you combine your ingredients, you let the liquid really soak in to the bread. I mix it up in a large bowl and let it sit for about 15 minutes, stirring/tossing the bread every few minutes. Once there is very little liquid sitting in the bottom of the bowl, you are ready to spoon them in to the ramekins.

    I like making these in ramekins so that it makes for a pretty presentation, but you can always just bake it in a 9"x13" baking dish. If you make it in a baking dish, you will just need to add a few minutes to the cooking time to make sure that the center is completely set.

    Look how pretty they puff up in the oven! After they cool, they will collapse a bit....but that is fine!

      I'm eating this right now and it is GREAT!!! It's my first time making bread pudding so I was hoping the center would not end up soggy. It did not!!! Thanks for the great recipe. I love eggnog and I adore bread pudding. Great flavors and amazing taste.
