Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, cranberries, and orange zest. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

  4. Pour the eggnog mixture over the bread in the baking dish, making sure all the bread is soaked. Press down lightly to help the bread absorb the liquid.

  5. Allow the bread pudding to sit for about 10 minutes to let the bread fully soak up the eggnog mixture.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

  8. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream and extra cranberries for a festive touch.
