Ingredients

3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
3/4 cups sugar
2 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup SPICED rum
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Vegetable cooking spray
Optional accompaniments:
Vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream

Directions
Preheat oven to 475 degrees
F.
Place a tea-kettle of water
on to boil for a water bath.
With a serrated knife,
remove the side crusts from the half piece of the panettone. Cut into 3/4 to
1-inch dice. You should have 5 cups.
Reserve the cubed panettone in a large mixing bowl.

For the eggnog custard, in
another bowl thoroughly whisk together the eggs, yolks, sugar, half and half,
rum, vanilla extract, and a healthy grating of fresh nutmeg.
Spray a 12 hole muffin tin
with vegetable cooking spray. Ladle the bread/eggnog mixture gently and evenly
into the muffin tins. The big cubes sticking up look nice. 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.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes until
the tops are nicely browned,
and a toothpick comes clean from the center.
