We’re all a bit overstuffed from the holidays, and are trying our hardest to use up leftovers. What do you do with leftover eggnog? Here are a few of my favorite things to do with the tasty treat.

Pancakes & French Toast: Substitute eggnog for the milk in your favorite pancake mix. Or dip your bread in a mixture of eggnog and eggs for French toast. It adds a sweet nutmeg-y flavor to your breakfast. You can reduce the amount of sugar to balance out the sweetness.
