To make this delicious dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Eggnog Bread Pudding:

- 6 cups of cubed bread
- 2 cups of eggnog
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

For the Caramel Sauce:

- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. Add the cubed bread to the bowl and stir until the bread is fully coated with the eggnog mixture. Let the bread soak for 10-15 minutes.
Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the caramel sauce.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then stop stirring and let the mixture come to a boil. Cook the mixture until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream, butter, and salt. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up. Whisk until the caramel is smooth and creamy.
Once the bread pudding is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the bread pudding and serve warm.
This Eggnog Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce is a perfect dessert for any holiday gathering. The bread pudding is soft and fluffy with a rich eggnog flavor, while the caramel sauce adds a sweet and sticky finish. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
