This is such an easy quick bread to make for others as gifts and tastes yummy.I recieved many compliments off of this bread and will be doing it again next year.The only thing I would do is add 5-6 Tablespoons of oil to it as it was too dry otherwise.Try it~

One of the best bread recipes I've ever made. It is quick, just a hint of sweetness, and I love the crisp crust. Froze rest of eggnog in 1-cup servings so I can make this throughout the year.

This quick bread turned out VERY dry and tastless. I may retry it with more spices and a different eggnog recipe. I wish I hadn't wasted the homemade eggnog on this.

I don't know how anybody would know that this bread improves with age....at my house it's gone before it's properly cooled! A very nice quick bread. Gonna have to make double batches of this one from now on.

This bread tastes REALLY good, but the recipe definitely needs to be tweaked. Even after I added extra oil, as another reviewer did, I found this bread still very dry. (Maybe a little less flour?) Anyway, this was really good in a trifle, because the custard made up for the dryness of the bread.

I made this bread and gave small loaves away at Christmas--it was wonderful!! I made 2 batches--one with rum extract, and one with real rum and you couldn't really tell the difference--they were both excellent. I topped them with confectioner's sugar and added cinnamon to one batch--I want to make them again soon!

This was really good when freshly baked and everyone enjoyed it, however it became drier by the next day.

This recipe is SO tasty! I used 5.75" X 3.25" pans (for gifts). The gift loaves were a HUGE hit! Be careful using the smaller pans -- I almost lost my first batch because they were close to burnt at 25 minutes. After I learned the hard way, the rest turned out wonderfully! YUM!

I made this bread last year for holiday gifts and I have already had teachers at my school asking if I am going to make it again. It is wonderful!

This is indeed a cake, not a holiday bread. It is on the dry side, and should be served with fresh whipped cream.

I made several loaves and gave them as Christmas gifts. Big hit and so easy! I used real rum instead of rum extract, increased the nutmeg to 1/2 tsp., and added 5 Tbl oil (was too dry otherwise). I agree - fresh eggnog is key! I also made this with lowfat eggnog - was SUPER dry, even after adding 5 Tbl. oil. You must use the real stuff! Thanks for the recipe!

A good tasting bread, pretty easy to make. I took it to a New Years party and everyone who tried it liked it, even those who don't care for egg nog. It is a bit dry and crumbly, but it tastes great.
