While I love a glass or two of eggnog around the holidays, I never can seem to get through a whole quart on my own. (Why don't they sell eggnog in pints anyway? It would make more sense for me, and also act as a single serving for others, I assume!) I made eggnog doughnut muffins, sipped a couple of servings, and made a few eggnog lattes, but still had quite a bit left ... until I discovered eggnog oatmeal! Rich, creamy, sweet, and subtly spiced, eggnog oatmeal makes a comforting, quick, nourishing breakfast during the busy holiday season.
Eggnog Oatmeal
serves 1
Ingredients:
1/2 c full-fat eggnog
1/2 c water
pinch kosher salt
1/2 c rolled oats
dried cranberries and grated nutmeg, for serving
Directions:
Combine the eggnog, water, and salt in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Stir in the rolled oats, lower the heat, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the oats are cooked and the oatmeal is thick, about 5 minutes. Top with dried cranberries and grated nutmeg.
What are your favorite uses for leftover eggnog?

I also wish eggnog came in pints! And all the homemade recipes are like "serves 12". No thanks. :) But nog in oatmeal sounds like a pretty great plan!
