Our family is big into egg nog, so I am always creating new recipes to satisfy our egg nog desires! This is the perfect winter breakfast. Serve it on any morning and everyone will be happy to get out of their warm and cozy beds! The best part of this simple recipe is that you can make it the night before. Enjoy!

• 1 loaf of any type of cinnamon bread, cut into cubes
• 3 1/3 C. of really good Egg Nog (we use Quality Dairy)
• 3 tsp. of real vanilla
• 1 tsp. of brandy (optional)
• fresh nutmeg 

Butter a 3 quart shallow baking dish. Place bread cubes in dish. Mix the egg nog and vanilla and pour over bread, making sure all bread is covered with liquid. Sprinkle entire dish lightly with freshly ground (or pre-ground) nutmeg. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight. Uncover. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 min. or until the center is set. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. Serve with real maple syrup and real butter on your best china plates. Using the best of everything makes the morning that much more special. Yummy!
