Ingredients

  • 6 cups cubed brioche bread (or other sweet white bread)

  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup raisins

  • Pour the bread and eggnog mixture into a 9-inch square casserole dish, or an oven safe baking dish of a similar size. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
