Take-out Tuesday, Bacon & Eggnog Panettone Pudding

Here’s a twist on a breakfast casserole that will also help you use up your leftover Panettone and eggnog
We enjoyed this for a festive New Year’s Day brunch watching the Rose Parade
It is so easy to make the day before and put in the oven the next morning
I always cook bacon in the oven if I don’t need the fat for sauteing something else. I think this method really enhances the flavor, not to mention how easy it is to cook and clean up.
Drizzle the cubes with melted butter
Mix in the bacon pieces and then pour the eggnog mixture over all
Leftovers reheat beautifully in the microwave also
This pudding is sweet and rich, so a small serving goes a long way
This recipe would be good with sausage too~

This sounds delicious Jenna, especially with the sweet and salty combination from the bacon! I love panettone and we just finished up what I had for French toast while my sister was in town visiting!
Thanks Mary, it was your post on French toast that inspired this recipe!

I shouldn’t be reading this before I’ve had breakfast! I will certainly keep this easy recipe, it is perfect as you say to use up the panettone and eggnog! Great idea Jenna.
