A walk in the woods is usually good for our dogs and even better for my ideas. I remember glasses of eggnog first being poured Thanksgiving Day, and a carton remained and was replenished through New Year’s Day. I was also quite hungry during the walk, and thoughts of cheesy scrambled eggs and ricotta pancakes taunted my belly. And as it usually happens, several factors sparked an idea. We could make scrambled eggnog. Yeah, that would be neat. What to serve with scrambled eggnog? Well, let’s play with a hungry man’s breakfast: eggs, bacon, coffee, and pancakes. We did just that, though reworked the dish in the style of a rum baba, soaking the warm pancake with dark rum right before serving. The sauce is espresso, bacon, maple syrup, and a hot spring egg. A sprinkle of anise hyssop rounded out the flavors in the scrambled eggnog.
