Panettone Egg Nog Bread Pudding Muffins

This makes a lovely addition to your brunch buffet but it is also sweet enough for a festive dessert. Don’t forget the whipped cream (and don't forget to enter our contest before December 4th at 11AM).

Ingredients:

• 5 cups of diced Panettone *
• 3 whole eggs
• 3 egg yolks
• ¾ cups granulated sugar
• 2 cups your favourite egg nog
• ¼ cup rum
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract *
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg *
• Cooking spray
• *Available from Well Seasoned

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
2. Place water on to boil for a water bath. With a serrated knife, cut your favourite Panettone into ¾ inch dice and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. For the eggnog custard, in another bowl thoroughly whisk together the eggs, yolks, sugar, egg nog, rum, vanilla extract, and a healthy grating of fresh nutmeg. Pour this over the bread cubes.
4. Spray a 12 compartment muffin tin with vegetable cooking spray. Ladle the bread/eggnog mixture gently and evenly into the muffin tins. Place the filled muffin tin in a tall sided cookie sheet or roasting pan. 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.
5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until the tops are nicely browned, and a toothpick comes clean from the center. Serve warm with vanilla scented whipped cream.
