Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of whole-grain bread, cut into cubes
- 2 cups of eggnog (choose a low-fat version for a healthier option)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Fresh berries for serving
Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Place the bread cubes in a greased baking dish, then pour the eggnog mixture over them, ensuring every piece is soaked. If you want a touch of sweetness, drizzle some maple syrup over the top.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight for best results. When you’re ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and pop it in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and a handful of fresh berries for that extra holiday cheer!
