Well, let’s get to it…

How to make bread pudding:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13 baking dish with some softened butter.

Add the eggs, eggnog, half and half, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon to a large mixing bowl.

Whisk it together thoroughly.

Add the bread and chocolate chips, and fold them into the liquid. 

Let the mixture sit on the counter for 30 minutes so the bread absorbs the egg mixture.

Pour the bread pudding into your prepared baking dish. 

Then bake until firm when pressed in the center, about 45-50 minutes. 

And cool until just warm, about 20 minutes.

If you’re not making the bread pudding ahead of time, just before the bread pudding is finished cooking make the sauce: Add the whiskey and bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the butter. 

And when it’s melted stir in the sugar, whisk in the eggnog, cinnamon, and nutmeg, bring to a low simmer and cook for 4 minutes.  Pour the whiskey sauce over the bread pudding to serve.

So see, as I said – it’s so easy to make.

This is one special dessert, my friend.  You and your guests will love this rich and perfectly spiced eggnog bread pudding. 

And you’ll adore the warm whiskey sauce poured on top!
