Eggnog Panettone Bread Pudding
"I was looking for a recipe to use a panettone a student had given me, and I came across this. Remember seeing Rachel Ray make this for the Food network Christmas special last year. Enjoy!"
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Serves:
-
12
ingredients
- 1 loaf panettone, available in Italian specialty stores, cut in half (enough for about 5 cups, diced)
- 3 whole eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1⁄4 cup rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄8 - 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- vanilla ice cream (optional)
- whipped cream (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
- Place a tea-kettle of water on to boil for a water bath. With a serrated knife, remove the side crusts from the half piece of the panettone. Cut into 3/4 to 1-inch dice. You should have 5 cups. Reserve the cubed panettone in a large mixing bowl.
- For the eggnog custard, in another bowl thoroughly whisk together the eggs, yolks, sugar, half and half, rum, vanilla extract, and a healthy grating of fresh nutmeg. Pour this over the bread cubes.
- Spray a 12 hole muffin tin with vegetable cooking spray. Ladle the bread/eggnog mixture gently and evenly into the muffin tins. The big cubes sticking up look nice. Place the filled muffin tin in a tall sided cookie sheet or roasting pan. Transfer to the preheated oven and carefully pour the hot water from kettle onto sheet pan, creating a water bath for the muffin tin to sit inches.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes until the tops are nicely browned, and a toothpick comes clean from the center.
- Bread pudding may be served warm or cold. Vanilla Ice cream or whipped cream would be great accompaniments.
- Alternately place the muffin tin in a roasting pan on the stove. Pour in up to 1-inch of boiling water. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes. The puddings will puff and a toothpick will come out clean from the center. The tops won't brown with this method. Perhaps a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar at serving time would be nice.

I am a teacher, and have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 9 years. I have a niece who is 7, and a nephew who is 1. Also, I have 2 sweet kitties. Sinatra is a bit on the plump side, and Audrey is a petite dainty thing. They both are almost mirror images of each other.
