Classic Cooked Egg Nog recipe

12 servings

Ingredients:

6 eggs

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

1 quart milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

In large saucepan, beat together eggs, sugar and salt (if desired); stir in 2 cups of the milk.

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon with a thin film and reaches at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Remove pan from heat.

Stir remaining 2 cups milk and vanilla extract into the mixture.

Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled; several hours or overnight.

Just before serving, pour the egg nog into a bowl or pitcher.
