Holiday Eggnog Bread
Description
This Holiday Eggnog Bread recipe blends beaten eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggnog, and vanilla extract to create a moist batter. A sifted mix of all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg adds structure and festive flavor. The batter is baked in a greased loaf pan at 350°F for 35-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean, producing a golden crust with a tender crumb inside.
The bread’s flavor has subtle warmth from nutmeg and smooth sweetness from the eggnog, making it a distinctive seasonal quick bread. The powdered sugar and eggnog glaze poured over the cooled loaf enhances moistness and sweetness, while a light dusting of nutmeg on top adds an aromatic finish.
This bread pairs well with coffee or tea and can be served as a holiday breakfast or snack. It is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored wrapped to maintain moistness.
