Description
Rich Eggnog Croissant Bread Pudding is a delightful dessert that combines croissants and eggnog for a creamy, flavorful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large croissants, preferably day-old
- 3 cups eggnog
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in the greased baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissant pieces, ensuring they are well soaked.
- If using, sprinkle raisins or chocolate chips over the top for added flavor.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 15-20 minutes, giving the croissants time to absorb the custard.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
- For a finishing touch, dust the top with powdered sugar just before serving.
