Equipment

  • 1 Baking dish (9x13 inch)
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 measuring cup set
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices Bread preferably stale
  • 4 cups Eggnog
  • 6 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
  • Grease the baking dish with the melted butter.
  • Spread the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the eggnog mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
  • Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top of the casserole.
  • Allow the casserole to rest for 30 minutes to absorb the mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top.

Notes

For the best results, use slightly stale bread as it will absorb the eggnog mixture better, preventing the casserole from becoming too soggy. If you don't have stale bread, you can lightly toast fresh bread cubes in the oven before using them. Additionally, feel free to customize the topping with your favorite nuts or even some dried fruits for added texture and flavor.
