I am not a fan of eggnog, unless it’s the form of a baked good such as these Eggnog Blossom Cookies or this Holiday Eggnog Bread.  I just never acquired the taste for the drink but I can eat this bread all day long.  The eggnog bread comes together quickly and bakes beautifully.  You can slice it and eat without the sweet eggnog glaze and those cute sprinkles, but add those make it even better.  

This festive bread will look great on your dessert tables this holiday season.

For this recipe, I used Dixie Crystals sugar and creamy Cabot Creamery Co-Operative butter in the batter.  Dixie Crystals is a staple in my house all the time. It’s good quality sugar.  I also use Cabot Creamery Co-operative products in baking and cooking.  I mean the cheese alone is the best!  Both companies are first time sponsors of this event, and we totally love them.

Tips to Make This Holiday Eggnog Bread:

As most of my baking recipes start out, whisk your dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.  This makes the recipe go smoothly and you don’t have stop and measure them out in the midst of the mixing.

Be sure your butter is melted and cooled before adding it to the recipe, too.

I experimented with the amount of nutmeg, and the 2 and 1/4 teaspoons is perfect for this recipe. It may seem like a lot but trust me. 

If you prefer to skip the vanilla extract and use rum extract in place of it, you can.  I didn’t have any on hand to do that.

Every oven is different, so check your bread at about 30 minutes and go from there.  Mine took about 45 minutes to be done perfectly.  

For the glaze, simply whisk the ingredients for it together an drizzle over cooled bread.  Add festive sprinkles, or not.
