    This Eggnog Bread Recipe has a really good eggnog flavor. If you didn't frost it, I think it would be great chopped up as a french toast bake!

    But in all reality, it would be long gone before you could even do that because it is so delicious!

    Have you ever wondered why we associate eggnog with the Christmas season? I have...so I googled it!

    While culinary historians debate its exact lineage, most agree eggnog originated from the early medieval Britain “posset,” a hot, milky, ale-like drink. By the 13th century, monks were known to drink a posset with eggs and figs. Milk, eggs, and sherry were foods of the wealthy, so eggnog was often used in toasts to prosperity and good health.Eggnog became tied to the holidays when the drink hopped the pond in the 1700s. American colonies were full of farms—and chickens and cows—and cheaper rum, a soon-signature ingredient. Mexico adopted the very eggnog varietal “rompope,” and Puerto Rico enjoys the “coquito,” which adds coconut milk. The English name’s etymology however remains a mystery. Some say “nog” comes from “noggin,” meaning a wooden cup, or “grog,” a strong beer. By the late 18th century, the combined term “eggnog” stuck.

      I love that you included the history about eggnog in the post. We know of eggnog in my country, but we don't make or use it. Definitely something Im putting on my Christmas meal planning list!

      Could you make this recipe into mini loaves to gift? How long would you bake them?

        I haven't made mini loves with this recipe yet - but that's a great idea that I am going to try this year! I would suggest starting with 20 minutes baking time and see if they're done.

      Overall, it turned out really good very tasty but I think my loaf pan was too small The outside seemed way to cooked. What size loaf pan do you recommend? Do you stir ingredients by hand or with a mixer?

        I used a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment. I use a glass loaf dish, 5.25 x 9 x 2.75
