Sounds like a great morning start for the Holidays!
You can also pasteurize eggs with a sous vide without cooking them.
Thanks for sharing, Sherry.

C cutplug , I make eggnogg like this pretty often, and have microwaved egg milk mixture to cook it a bit... but always tastes more "eggy" then. I have all the Appendix A cooking temp tables, but what is a good temp to sous vide eggs so they don't cook in the shells? Do you toss eggs in water in shell, or mix stuff up then sous vide? I really like the idea, but am wondering what temp /time is a good one ?
Thx!
SherryT thx for recipe!

Well if you feel your immune system isn't up for raw eggs per the Anova website.

1. Set your Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 135.0ºF / 57.2ºC.
2. Mark the eggs to be pasteurized with a P or some other moniker with a water proof marker.
3. Gently drop the eggs, in their shells (not vacuum sealed), into the bath to cook for 1 hour 15 minutes.

If only eggnog did not have all that sugar - I used to love the stuff. Your recipe sounds great!

You could skip the sugar. The vanilla and nutmeg will give it some sweetness. and some brandy of course!

I haven't made it with a sugar substitute, but I think it would work. If all else fails, add your sweetener of choice in the glass/cup.
