In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine milk and eggnog then prepared tapioca and salt. Cook and stir frequently until mixture is barely simmering. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. While waiting to simmer, beat eggs in a bowl. Mix about 2 tablespoons of the tapioca mixture with the egg then pour mixture onto the pan. Increase heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
