Ingredients

Custard

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Bread

  • 1/2 loaf stale challah bread (or your choice of white bread)

Mixins

  • 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
  • 1 ounce dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce (optional but recommended)

Optional crispy top

  • Dust top with cinnamon, brown sugar, and white sugar
  • Add a couple pieces of butter

Instructions

  • If not using stale bread, toast slightly to dry it out
  • Grease baking dish
  • Break bread into 1-2 inch pieces and put into dish 
  • Cut walnuts and chocolate up into coarse chunks (no smaller than ¼ inch) and add to the dish. Optional: This is also when you would add in the cranberry sauce
  • In your mixing bowl mix dry custard ingredients together
  • Add the eggs and eggnog to the dry ingredients, and whisk together until combined
  • Pour onto the bread mixture and let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to overnight. The texture will be better the longer you leave it in the fridge, but if you’re looking for a quicker dessert, chill it for 30 minutes. 
  • Bake at 350° for 1 hour (no need to preheat the oven - just pop it in) 
  • Take out of the oven and add your crispy top
  • Serve and enjoy
