    Easy Eggnog Custards

    Eggnog is one of my most anticipated holiday indulgences.  I get excited as soon as I see the refrigerated section of my grocery store fill up with cartons and jugs of the thick, smooth nectar.  Seeing eggnog in the stores is one of my earliest signals that Christmas is not far away.

    Easy Eggnog Custards

    Though I'm content to sip a cold glass of my favorite festive drink as-is, eggnog also lends itself to some special, and delicious, baking opportunities.  This easy custard recipe is one of those opportunities.

    Easy Eggnog Custards

    With just a few ingredients and a little time in the oven, these individual eggnog custards are creamy and taste exactly like the holidays.  If you prefer to eat your custard warm, put them in the oven as you're finishing up dinner and they'll be ready not long after you're done eating.  Rather eat them cold?  Chill them in the fridge for a smooth treat.
    Easy Eggnog Custards

    When testing this custard I used Pete & Gerry's Organic Eggs.  We love everything about them from the recyclable packaging, the pretty and slightly varied brown eggs, the incredible flavor, and what I consider the most obvious difference: they have such a thick shell!  You really have to clonk these guys to get them to crack.  Here's some more info about Pete & Gerry's:

    • The hens are never caged and have access to the outdoors.
    • The hens are antibiotic and hormone free.
    • Hens are given 100% organic feed with no pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or GMOs.  It’s also free of animal by-products. No slaughterhouse waste allowed.
    • The farms are inspected at least once a year by a third-party certifier with USDA accreditation.

    Easy Eggnog Custards

    Dress it up however you want or eat it plain - it's all fantastic.  Sprinkle the tops with a bit of cinnamon and enjoy with speculoos or gingerbread cookies.  Serve it at your holiday parties or whip them up to use up the last of your eggnog after the season is over.  You'll love them, I promise!

      Ahh this looks so yummy! And easy to make too, only I have to whip up the eggnog as well as they don't sell them in the stores here. But yess, thank you for the recipe 🙂
