INGREDIENTS
3 cups 1% milk
1 vanilla bean
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish
spiced rum or bourbon, optional, extra points
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 2-1/2 cups milk in a medium saucepan.
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds; add the seeds and pod to the saucepan and simmer over medium heat.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and cornstarch until it turns light yellow.
Temper the eggs by gradually pouring the hot milk mixture, about 1 cup at a time, into the egg mixture, whisking constantly (this is important, otherwise you”ll make scrambled eggs).
Pour the mixture back into the pan.
Place over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the eggnog begins to thicken, about 6-7 minutes.
Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the remaining 1/2 cup milk to stop the cooking.
Remove the vanilla pod, let it cool and transfer to a pitcher, chill until ready to serve.
Spike the eggnog with liquor, if desired (extra points), and garnish with nutmeg.
