Eggnog muffins are a festive holiday breakfast that are so easy that they can be whipped up any day of the week.  If all the ingredients are measured and prepped the night before, then they can easily baked in the morning.  I love to bake these eggnog muffins the morning after Thanksgiving with some eggs, crisp sausage, and seasoned potatoes.
