Description
Eggnog French Toast is a festive twist on the classic breakfast dish, combining rich and creamy eggnog with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Perfect for holiday mornings or cozy brunches, it’s a comforting, indulgent meal that captures the spirit of the season.
Ingredients
- 8 thick slices of bread
- 1¾ cups eggnog
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Dip two slices of bread into the eggnog mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Repeat the soaking and cooking process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the French toast hot, optionally topping with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using brioche or challah bread.
- Allow the bread to soak in the eggnog mixture for a few seconds on each side to absorb more flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture and warmth.
