Holiday people are broken into two types of humans: eggnog people and people who hate eggnog. I understand the latter. In fact, I'm probably in that category. I'm not sure I can stomach the richness of eggnog. It's a bit too thick and really does feel like I'm eating ice cream.
But somehow whenever I have people over, I end up with a pint of eggnog in the fridge and I'm not sure what to do with the leftovers. Well, this is a good option. Make it for Christmas breakfast or day after breakfast. It's slightly sweet and delicious. It's warming and uses up all that leftover eggnog that you'll never ever drink.
