Eggnog Quick Bread
Eggnog Quick Bread | Not a heavy bread and with the addition of the cream cheese and eggnog icing it’s perfect with a cup of tea.
Have some leftover eggnog you need to use up? How about making eggnog quick bread. As I was rummaging through my refrigerator I discovered a carton of eggnog that was going to expire soon. I really didn’t want to drink it since I have a cold and I try to stay away from creamy things when I have a cold. So, I decided to make eggnog quick bread. Two loaves, one to eat now and one for the freezer, so I could enjoy the flavor of eggnog long after it had left the grocery store shelf.
