Festive Eggnog Tarts

These Festive Eggnog Tarts are great for the holidays.

They are rum-and-nutmeg traditional, and super quick to put together. Use frozen tart shells and you can have these ready to go in half an hour.

The custard filling takes only a few minutes to stir together. Pour it into your shells and just bake until set.

The rum flavor is not overwhelming, but if you prefer a non-alcoholic version you can substitute vanilla.

Once you discover how easy these tarts are to make, they will be sure to earn a place in your holiday recipe collection.
