Scrambled Eggnog

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 were replenished through New Years 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, lets play with a hungry mans 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.
