Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Eggnog
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 8 slices Thick-Cut Bread (Brioche or Challah preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- Powdered Sugar (optional, for garnish)
- Maple Syrup (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling it around to coat the surface evenly.
Dip a slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, allowing it to soak for about 5 seconds on each side. Let any excess mixture drip off before placing the bread onto the skillet.
Cook the bread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all slices are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter.
If desired, dust the French toast with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy your holiday-inspired Eggnog French Toast!
