Step-by-Step Instructions for Eggnog Bread Pudding
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  3. Gradually pour in the eggnog, mixing until the custard is smooth and creamy.
  4. Cut the stale bread into bite-sized cubes and place them in the greased dish. Pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are coated.

  7. Remove from the oven and cool for 20-30 minutes before serving.
