Eggnog
Quick Bread
Yield: 1 (16-slice) loaf
Traditional fresh eggnog is made from
egg, cream and/or milk, sugar, sweet spices and, frequently,
a splash of rum. Eggnog has become somewhat controversial in
recent years because the egg and cream make it a high calorie,
high-cholesterol drink, and because the raw egg holds up the
possibility of salmonella contamination. Purchased eggnog, on
the other hand, is pasteurized, making it a safer drink. Read
the Nutrition Facts panel on the carton to compare calories and
fat with other beverages, and look for low-fat versions of this
drink. Purchased eggnog is usually thick and rich enough that
it's still delicious "cut" with plain or even skim
milk. Rum and raisins are a time-honored combination; stir 1/2
cup of raisins into the batter, if you wish.
