Holiday Eggnog Bread
Holiday Eggnog Bread is a spiced quick bread enriched with eggnog, eggs, and butter, flavored with nutmeg and vanilla, then topped with a smooth eggnog icing. This loaf balances moistness from the dairy and eggs with festive warmth from the nutmeg, making it a seasonal treat often enjoyed during colder months. The icing adds sweetness and a creamy touch to the slightly spiced bread crumb.
