Leftover Eggnog = Bread!

I had some (well a LOT of) Eggnog left over from my Eggnog Cookies so I became creative (as usual) and baked some bread! I added some dried Cranberries to be festive and walnuts for crunch. Just like the cookies, it made my house smell like the holidays! :)

Ingredients:

2 eggs, beaten
1 c eggnog
1 c granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c (1 stick) butter, softened
2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1 c dried cranberries

1/2 chopped walnuts

Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bottom only of a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

2. Beat together the eggs, eggnog, sugar, vanilla and butter in a mixer until smooth.

3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Add to eggnog mixture and stir in cranberries and walnuts just enough to moisten; pour into prepared pan.

4. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, and remove from pan. Cool completely, wrap tightly and store in refrigerator.
