Ingredients
- 1 loaf of challah or brioche bread, cut into cubes
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for serving

Instructions
- Prep the Bread: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the bread cubes evenly in the dish.
- Make the Eggnog Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Combine: Pour the eggnog mixture over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to ensure all the bread is soaked. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Serve: Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup.
