I had a carton of eggnog to use before going bad. I set out to find 3 recipes to use it up. I started with this quick bread and moved on to pancakes. This bread is ok made as written. Everyone who made this had a different variation as their way to make it. I made as written and baked it in 3 mini loaves for 35 minutes. The taste was good…….a little dry as far as quick breads go. My family actually liked it toasted best with a little butter. I would try this recipe again, but I would tweak it using some of the suggestions from other reviewers.

LOVED this bread! After reading the other suggestions I did increase the egg nog to 1 1/2 cups and I used 2 Tbsp of Bacardi's white rum instead of the extract. It was so moist and delicious. It was more like a pound cake, sweet enough for a dessert. This one is definitely a keeper.

I made this recipe a couple of weeks before Christmas 2012. Froze it and took it out just before Christmas. It was good but we had so much good food that we couldn't enjoy and eat everything. Try to make it another time when not over whelmed with other food.

The flavor of this bread is very good but you need to add something extra ti make it moist. I would suggest 1/2 c of plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup of extra sugar.

Loved this recipe! I had some leftover eggnog from the holidays that I didn't want to go to waste and found this recipe. It had a great flavor and was very moist. Next time I might cut back on the rum extract a little because it was pretty strong. I also added a glaze over the top which definitely sealed in the moisture. The glaze recipe is: 2 cups of confectioners sugar and 6 tablespoons of eggnog. I would recommend adding the eggnog in gradually so the glaze does not get too liquidy.

After reading the reviews I used dark rum instead of extract and added 2 T of oil and an extra 1/2 cup of eggnog. I had light eggnog on hand and followed the cake-making method of creaming the butter and sugar and then adding the eggs, one at a time, then the extract and rum. The flour and eggnog were added in alternating parts and I ended up with enough batter for my two 6-cup bundt pans. A very moist and delicious cake resulted so I'm not going to call this a bread. It is not overly sweet but the idea of an eggnog glaze sounds wonderful and I'll try that next time. I think it would also make a lovely base for a trifle or even a holiday version of tiramisu. I'll make it every time I have leftover eggnog from now on.

This was really delicious and everyone LOVED it!! I don't feel like the egg nog flavor would've been as obvious had I not used 2 cups like suggested in other comments. I also used the oil (5 tbsp butter & 3 tbsp oil) and the vanilla pudding (big box) and did not use the rum extract (I just didn't have any - I think it would've been yummy). One thing - I think with all of the extras I had to bake it longer than the recipe called for which I don't think anyone mentioned. I believe I ended up cooking it for 80 minutes. I can hardly wait to make this for Christmas next year!!

Made it first using real rum instead of extract otherwise as written and found it to be too dry. Second time I tried using vanilla pudding mix added as well as extra eggnog, it was more dense but still kind of dry.
