Directions:

1

Watch how to make this recipe

2

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F

3

Place a tea-kettle of water on to boil for a water bath

4

With a serrated knife, remove the side crusts from the half piece of the panettone

5

Cut into 3/4 to 1-inch dice

6

You should have 5 cups

7

Reserve the cubed panettone in a large mixing bowl

8

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

9

Pour this over the bread cubes

10

Spray a 12 hole muffin tin with vegetable cooking spray

11

Ladle the bread/eggnog mixture gently and evenly into the muffin tins

12

The big cubes sticking up look nice

13

Place the filled muffin tin in a tall sided cookie sheet or roasting pan

14

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 in

15

Bake 15 to 20 minutes until the tops are nicely browned, and a toothpick comes clean from the center

16

Bread pudding may be served warm or cold

17

Vanilla Ice cream or whipped cream would be great accompaniments

18

Alternately place the muffin tin in a roasting pan on the stove

19

Pour in up to 1-inch of boiling water

20

Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes

21

The puddings will puff and a toothpick will come out clean from the center

22

The tops won't brown with this method

23

Perhaps a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar at serving time would be nice
