CHRISTMAS EGGNOG BREAD



Christmas Eggnog Bread image

This came from a friend. I made this as written and it turns out beautifully every time. I always include a loaf of this bread in my Christmas crates that we make up for my family. I have included 3 variations I came up with. We love this bread toasted. Yes...toasted. What can possibly be wrong about toasted cake? Try it...you just might like it. Try it for breakfast instead of regular toast. This makes a large loaf and freezes beautifully.

  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Eggnog bread is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, cream cheese, or fruit.
