My parents love this bread pudding loaded with cranberries and pecans – and it uses up leftover dinner rolls. For eggnog lovers, it makes a divine dessert. —Emily Hobbs, Springfield, Missouri

I made this for a New Year's brunch using leftover bottled alcoholic eggnog and served it with maple syrup to add some sweetness. It was a real hit! Don't be tempted to use more than 6 cups of cubed rolls. The mixture will solidify as it bakes.
