Eggnog is not just for drinking! Try these festive bites for a burst of holiday sweetness.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup shelled pistachios
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 (1.9 oz) pkgs mini fillo shells

Steps
- Chop the pistachios. In a saucepan, combine the eggnog, milk, cornstarch, and sugar. Cook 1 min. on medium, until sugar has dissolved (do not boil), stirring often. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Stir in ¼ cup of the eggnog mixture. With a wooden spoon, slowly stir the egg yolks into the saucepan with the remaining eggnog mixture. Cook 2 min. on medium, until thick (do not boil), stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and nutmeg.
