As the holiday season approaches, there's nothing quite like a classic eggnog to set the festive mood. But what if you could enjoy this holiday favorite with a healthier twist? Introducing the O-Live Extra Virgin Olive Oil Eggnog! Packed with flavor and a touch of wellness, this recipe is sure to become a new tradition in your home.

Total Prep Time: 20 minutes | Servings: 6 | Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup O-Live Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup bourbon or rum (optional)
• Additional ground nutmeg for garnish

Instructions:

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is thick and pale.
2. Step 2: Stir in the whole milk, heavy cream, O-Live Extra Virgin Olive Oil, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. If using, add the bourbon or rum.
3. Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the eggnog begins to thicken and coats the back of the spoon, about 15-20 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
4. Step 4: Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg on top.

Pro Tip: For a smoother texture, strain the eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve before chilling.
