EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST
Eggnog French Toast is a festive twist on classic French toast. Soaked in rich eggnog and spices, it’s perfect for holiday breakfasts or brunch, offering a creamy, sweet flavor that feels like Christmas morning in every bite.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 8 slices thick bread such as brioche or challah
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup and powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Batter:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Soak the Bread:
- Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, allowing it to soak for about 20 seconds on each side.
Cook the French Toast:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil. Cook the soaked bread slices for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
- Serve warm topped with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Bread Choice: Use day-old bread for best results; it absorbs the batter better without falling apart.
- Make It Vegan: Substitute eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free eggnog.
- Add Toppings: Fresh berries, whipped cream, or chopped nuts make great toppings.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the fridge and reheat in a toaster or oven.
