Making Homemade Eggnog Bread Pudding is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Bread: Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Gently toss to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb.
5. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, fold in raisins or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
6. Bake: Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
