‘Tis the season for Eggnog.
And booze in general.
Tradition dictates that Christmas includes eggnog. After doing a lot of research, I came up with one of the easiest Eggnog recipes I’ve come across. Better yet, it can easily be doubled for a crowd!
…
Strange can be simple.
Simple is strange in my kitchen!
This recipe consists of simply two things: bread and eggnog. It’s what we had for breakfast brunch lunch linner (we like to sleep) on Christmas morning. And a giant side of champagne because all the rum Mom dumps in her eggnog would have cooked out. 😉
We did get a little complex with the homemade eggnog and using chocolate chip brioche. I neglected a picture, but I also made fresh whipped cream with coconut rum to top. You don’t have to get that fancy… but it didn’t suck.
Also served was scrambled eggs with spinach and onion for protein and greens. And bacon. Because bacon.
Mom likes to set a fancy table. This one had a gorgeous centerpiece, a charcuterie, ambrosia, and a magnum bottle of sparkling from Schramsberg.
It was so good we didn’t worry about opening presents until almost 2!
It’s a little past the holidays, but why not keep celebrating and try this out? It’s strange… but good! Besides, the eggnog is on sale at Whole Foods! 😉
Dip cubes of bread in the eggnog. Place slices evenly in a greased pyrex dish. Pour any remaining mixture over the slices.
Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, preheat oven to 400. Bake for 20-25 minutes (until poofed up and golden brown on top).
Place on rack to cool slightly before cutting and serving.
Makes 8-10 servings.

That magnum bottle was goooooone, plus 2 more standard sized ones. There were 7 of us! 5 of the 7 were drinking…
Do you like eggnog? I never have… but I love it baked!
