Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat your loaf pans with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, spiced rum, white sugar, vanilla extract, and softened butter until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, pudding mix, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes for mini loaves or 45-55 minutes for standard loaves.
  6. While the bread bakes, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, sifted eggnog, and a splash of spiced rum for the glaze.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Pour the glaze over the still warm bread.
