Egg Nog Recipe

4 cups Whole Milk
1/4 tsp salt
8 high quality eggs (6 full eggs, 2 egg yolks)
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp white sugar
1/2 cup brandy, bourbon, or dark rum (optional)
1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (1/4 cup if not adding alcohol)

Bring milk to simmer over medium-high heat. Whisk eggs and sugar together until incorporated. Whisk simmering milk into egg mixture to temper. Return mix to saucepan. Cook on medium-low for 2-5 minutes, until temperature reaches 160-165 degrees. Take off heat, strain into serving bowl. Add alcohol (optional), vanilla extract, and nutmeg, mix to combine. Cover and chill at least three hours. When ready to serve, whisk heavy whipping cream to soft peaks. Add whipped cream to custard mixture and whisk to combine. Serve topped with freshly grated nutmeg.

I'm going to start making eggnog an Easter tradition. Because I can.

My one wish in life is to get to hang out with Bridget and Julia. They're absolutely fabulous and lovely.

I just made one with tiramisu flavors. I added some espresso grounds to the milk while simmering it, mixed in some mascarpone cheese in place of the whipped cream, and I found a cold-brew coffee liqeur to use as the alcohol. It's in the fridge now cooling down for tomorrow. I plan to serve it in a mug with a dusting of cocoa powder on top and a lady finger stuck into it like a cinnamon stick would be. I'll let you know how it turns out.

They have such good chemistry together.

It's two days before Christmas and I went to four different markets. All were out of eggnog! I found this video and made some myself. I used 3 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy cream, omitted the booze till later but otherwise followed this recipe. Perfectly delicious. My guests can add liquor to their taste.

We used this recipe and made your homemade eggnog this year after feeling the same way about eggnog Julia did. I am so glad we did. It’s so creamy and smooth. Thanks, Bridget!

A real simple Kid friendly Eggnog (from a kids cookbook from the 60’s) 1 egg, 2 tablespoons sugar, pinch of salt. Mix then add 1 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Mix and season to taste with nutmeg. Makes one serving. I usually make a triple batch in a blender. You can also use egg substitute if you are afraid of drinking raw egg. Growing up in the 60’s I would drink this eggnog year round. Enjoy

When she said, "Girl I got you." I felt that.

*regionally here in the south the best egg nog is from Weigels...buy a lot of it while it's in season...and my weight reflects that as well...makes excellent french toast as well*
