Directions

  1. For the bread pudding: Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter. Toss together the bread cubes and raisins in the prepared dish; spread into an even layer and set aside.

  2. Whisk together the eggnog, milk, eggs, sugar, rum, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Pour the eggnog mixture evenly over the bread cubes. Cover and chill at least 8 hours or up to overnight.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the bread pudding from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature while the oven preheats.

  4. For the spiced topping: Stir together the turbinado sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl. Uncover the bread pudding and sprinkle with the spiced topping.

  5. Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven until golden brown and set, 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, tenting with foil after 30 minutes if it starts to look too brown. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.

  6. Meanwhile, make the rum-butter syrup: Combine the maple syrup, butter, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. Serve the hot syrup and berries with the bread pudding.
