Eggnog Bread Pudding Made With Homemade Challah Bread |
On an entirely different subject, I stopped by the school this morning to take a peek at my gear and to try on my cute little chef's outfit! Once everything comes in and I have it in my excited little hands, I'll be sure to share! (I promise to not constantly talk about culinary school, but I'm just so excited that I had to share!)
Eggnog French Toast
*Serves 3
- 6 thick pieces of Challah Bread
- 2 cups eggnog
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- A couple pinches of pumpkin pie spice
- Butter for the pan
- Powdered sugar to top (optional)
- Maple syrup (to serve with)
Using a whisk, combine the eggnog with the eggs, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl. Soak the bread pieces in the mixture, being careful to coat the bread entirely with the mixture. While the bread is lounging in the egg mixture, melt about 2 tbs of butter in a pan. Once it's melted, add the bread to the pan and let it brown up on one side before flipping. Once both sides are brown, dust with powdered sugar and serve with a side of maple syrup.
Eggnog Bread Pudding
* Serves 4
- Four very thick slices of Challah Bread, cut into rough cubes
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, divided
- 1 tsp cinnamon, plus a little extra for the top
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- A pinch of salt
Pre-heat the oven to 400. In an oven-proof bowl, toss the bread cubes with 1/2 of the cranberries. Set aside. In another bowl, combine the eggnog, milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well. Pour the eggnog mixture over the bread cubes, making sure that a good portion of the bread is submerged and only little bits are sticking out. If it's a little dry, just add more eggnog or milk. On the flip side, if it's too wet, just drain some of the liquid. Just before putting it the oven, top with dried cranberries and a healthy sprinkle of cinnamon. Bake until the top starts to puff up and brown. Serve warm, preferably topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

Whoa. whoa. challah french toast is amazing. Homemade challah-french toast is, wow. Please make this sometime when I can partake.
Both the French Toast and the Bread Pudding were excellent! The best ever!! Thank you Kate for adding these two dishes to our list of holiday must-haves!!
These both look and sound SO GOOD. Why use milk and regular bread when you can use EGGNOG and CHALLAH and have the most delicious things ever?!
I also can't wait for your culinary school stories, so there! :)
Yummmmmm! This is a perfect holiday season breakfast! Too bad someone finished my eggnog last night...
You can talk about culinary school everyday! I wouldn't mind. That dish looks awesome!!! I also noticed on some blog that you have a Cannon G11. I do too! Can you email me what settings you generally use for food photos... yours look awesome!
