Eggnog Bread topped with a flavorful glaze makes a delicious holiday gift or morning treat! The Foodie Affair

I’ve been putting my Kitchenaid mixer through quite a workout these past few days so that we’ll have plenty of cookies to munch on and enjoy during our Christmas break! Fresh out of the oven are these Ricotta Cheese Holiday Cookies. I also made Mexican Wedding Cookies (my favorite), Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies, and these Butter Brickle Cookies.

We also have a neighborhood holiday gathering that we go to every year and I’m in charge of bringing a dessert so I want to make sure to have plenty to pack up! I’m on a baking roll! So I might as well add eggnog bread to the list, right?!

Are you an eggnog fan? We buy it every year, but I don’t drink milk at all (just preference), so it’s not that appealing to me. I do like the flavor and I’ll have a sip or two, but that’s about it. Alan is the one that enjoys it the most or maybe it’s the brandy that he adds that he likes best! We usually end up with a lot leftover, so instead of tossing it out adding it to baked goods sounds like better plan to me!

This came out nice and tender, flavorful, and it’s super easy to make! In fact, I think I’m going to freeze some eggnog so I can make this during the year when eggnog is no longer available in our stores!

I made one large loaf, but you can also divide the batter and bake mini loafs! Spread the sweetness and give them as gifts!
