Eggnog with Brown Butter Cognac Lexy Durst 12/19/2020 Share Pin Tweet Oh, eggnog, how we love thee. Your silky richness, luxurious texture, and aromatic spiciness bring us holiday cheer and puts a smile on our faces. You are perfection, and we couldn't think of any way for you to get any butter... err... BETTER! Now that you mention it, butter is better. Which is why we infused the cognac used in this recipe with decadent, delicious, caramely brown butter. You won't believe how impossibly yummy this eggnog is, and we fully support grating as much fresh nutmeg on top as your heart desires!
