Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of cinnamon swirl bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups eggnog
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
