Did you know that grocery stores sell eggnog year round? Or at least for part of the year, when the holidays aren’t in sight?
Maybe I’m the last person to notice this, but it’s true…towards the beginning of last year, I noticed that eggnog was still be sold. Guess people like it that much, huh? Either that, or it was just sitting there, expired, from the holiday…
Of course, it’s not on display like it is during the holidays, and I’m sure the sale of eggnog goes waaaay down. But still, I was surprised to see it on store shelves through the year. Same with apple cider. That’s sold year round at my grocery store too, though I never buy it unless it’s fall. It would just “feel” wrong to drink it out of season. Know what I mean?
But, back to eggnog. I know a lot of people have different feelings on this drink, but I am a full-on team eggnog lover! Though I can only drink a few glasses over the course of the holidays, it’s a creamy and seasonal drink that I just have to have come this time of year.
But baking? Well, I can consume eggnog in baked goods just about every day of the year. From these White Chocolate Eggnog Cookies, to those Glazed Eggnog Donuts, and this Caramel Eggnog French Toast Bake, eggnog is the name of my game.
And that’s where this Glazed Eggnog Bread comes into play. The funny thing about this recipe is that I was testing it over the holidays last year, except in muffin form. And while I finally got the muffin right, I had a hard time with the photography for some reason, so I put it on hold. So when I came to the recipe for this year, I altered it slightly and made it into a bread instead.
This Glazed Eggnog Bread is filled with warm holiday spices and makes a deliciously festive treat. Soft, moist and bursting with a subtle hint of eggnog, you’ll love the flavors of this bread that would make a decadent breakfast or dessert!
