Make this Breakfast Eggnog Bread Pudding a new holiday tradition with your family. Get the kids involved in helping to make it. You can create some great traditions and memories in the kitchen. One of my favorite kitchen memories is cooking with my grandmother. I lived right next door to her growing up. I’d often go over after school and help in the kitchen or in the garden. After Thanksgiving, she started making her German Christmas cookies like German Sour Cream Twists Cookies, Kringla, and German Lebkuchen. These are still 3 of my favorite cookies to this day. After she passed away a few years ago, I asked to have her recipe cards and books. Now I continue baking with my kids using her recipes.

One thing all my recipes have in common is real food ingredients. I’m using real butter, whole milk, whole grain bread, etc. in this recipe. It’s a difference you can taste.

Substitutions: This recipe has a little bourbon or whiskey in it. The alcohol bakes off in the oven. If you prefer not to use alcohol, you can substitute 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract. If your family doesn’t like eggnog, you can substitute 2 cups heavy whipping cream and add 1 more cup of whole milk and 1 teaspoon nutmeg.
