Eggnog Bread with Rum Glaze
Description
This Eggnog Bread uses a rich combination of eggnog, spiced rum, eggs, and butter to create a moist and flavorful quick bread. The addition of vanilla and warming spices like nutmeg and cinnamon enhances the festive profile, while instant French vanilla pudding mix in the dry ingredients helps achieve a tender, slightly dense crumb. The batter is baked in a greased loaf or mini loaf pans until a toothpick shows it’s clean, indicating doneness.
Once cooled, the bread is finished with a rum glaze made by whisking powdered sugar together with eggnog, spiced rum, and complementary spices. This glaze adds sweetness and moisture to the top, complementing the bread’s subtle spice and contributing a glossy finish. The bread pairs well with breakfast, brunch, or as a festive dessert.
The recipe allows for flexibility in pan size and bake time, with smaller mini loafs requiring less time. Proper cooling before glazing is important to prevent melting or running. This bread stores well at room temperature wrapped tightly or in an airtight container.
