I am always super excited for December to roll in because when I go grocery shopping I get to find Eggnog in the stores and then precisely fill my cart up with it! I used to hate eggnog when I was a kidlet but like so many people say, your tastes change as you get older. Now, I just love it!!! I always have to buy eggnog ice cream when the Special Edition holiday flavors hit the stores as well, that stuff is soooo good, especially with brownies (if you haven't tried this you MUST, it is to die for!)
I have a super yummy recipe for eggnog bread that I make every year (and eggnog cookies...another yummy treat for the holidays, geez I can't get enough of eggnog!), I like to make it in large loaves for my family and then lots of mini loaves to give out at my annual cookie exchange. It is so nice toasted with some butter. Mmmm...the perfect way to start your morning off right (or end your day...maybe this is why the loaves in our house only last a day!) You have to try this recipe, I am sure you'll fall in love with it too. Even my friends who aren't so keen on eggnog can't wait for me to make this every winter.
Eggnog Bread
1 cup eggnog
2 teaspoons rum flavored extract
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease one large loaf pan or 3 mini loaf pans. Mix together the first 6 ingredients until they are blended well. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to the eggnog mixture and mix until just moistened. Pour into prepared pan(s). Bake large pan for 40-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Smaller loaf pans can bake for 35-40 minutes! Cool for 10 minutes, remove from pan, and then let cool completely on a baking rack. Wrap tightly and store in the refrigerator for easy cutting! YUM!
Seriously Good!

ReplyDeleteI love eggnog too...here is a recipe I got from Pillsbury for some eggnog cheesecake squares the crust is chocolate, but you could use a different flavor cookies to make the crust if you want to make it all about the eggnog. Thanks for the bread recipe, I LOVE making breads for breakfast so I will be picking up eggnog and making this this week. Happy Holidays!!! Maria in Myrtle Beach
