I would love to eat this recipe. The important thing is to have good quality bread and eggnog.
What a lovely dish to serve for a Christmas Brunch with family and friends. Being able to prepare the night before makes it so much easier to get all the other preparations done in the morning.

Yum, yum, yum. I would make it with the Challah Bread. And make sure there were many people to eat this so I wouldn’t eat the whole thing.
Oh goodness this would be outrageously delicious. I know some like eggnog, some dont, I am one who does. I buy it on time per year. just once because I will just drink glass after glass and then wonder where the weight came from. Icould make this and I bet it is melt in your mouth eggnog delight.
