My friend Charmian Christie of The Messy Baker wrote this incredible cookbook called the 3-Ingredient Baking Book. It’s filled with 101 amazing dessert recipes. Everything from cookies to ice cream, and even cheesecakes! They are all simple and stress-free recipes that are also great for kids to help with. I picked up my copy from Costco, but it’s also available at Indigo or Amazon. Cover image by Lauren Miller.
Why this bread pudding is so great:
All you need to make this easy bread pudding recipe is eggnog (homemade or store-bought), cinnamon raisin bread, and eggs. It’s a great way to use up leftover eggnog and day-old bread. It’s also a great make-ahead dish for breakfast or brunch. It’s so simple to make, yet yields a luxurious bread pudding that is soft and creamy and oh so flavourful. It’s like French toast but even better! Here are some reviews:
“Christmas morning breakfast. Made it without any changes. Loved how simple it was to make and that it didn’t require lots of ingredients. Absolutely delicious. Trying to decide if repeating on New Year’s Day is too soon!” – Suzanne
“This is so delicious I made it twice on Christmas Eve!!” – C

I made this recipe but used pan de leche bread and mixed raisins and cranraisins with the bread prior to pouring the eggnog mixture over it. I then glazed it with a buttery rum glaze prior to serving. It was delicious!
