Nothing says the holidays like eggnog (and...maybe bourbon? But that's optional!) in your coffee.
1 cup pasteurized eggs, or 4 eggs, lightly beaten*
1 cup 3.25% milk
1/4 cup 35% cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp bourbon, optional
1 tsp vanilla
espresso
freshly grated nutmeg, for serving
POUR eggs into a medium bowl. Set aside.
HEAT milk with cream, sugar and bourbon in a medium saucepan set over medium-high, stirring occasionally. When mixture starts to bubble, remove from heat. Pour half of milk mixture into eggs, whisking constantly. Pour back into saucepan and whisk constantly until heated through, about 30 more sec. Stir in vanilla.
POUR a shot of espresso into a mug. Top with hot eggnog. Spoon foam over latte and sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg.
Kitchen tip: *Lightly cooked eggs are generally safe to eat but shouldn’t be served to people with compromised immune systems. Buy pasteurized eggs, like Egg Creations, to use instead.
