Eggnog French Toast Recipe

This is a simple and festive holiday breakfast recipe! If you like eggnog, why not add it to your French toast to spice things up for the holiday? Here’s how to get started:

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 8 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut like brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
• 1 cup eggnog
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for frying)
• Optional toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh berries, or chopped nuts

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a shallow bowl or pie dish, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Heat the Pan:
   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the surface.
3. Dip the Bread:
   • Dip a slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, allowing it to soak for about 5 seconds on each side. Let the excess drip off.
4. Cook the French Toast:
   • Place the soaked bread on the hot skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more butter as needed.
5. Serve:
   • Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
