Slice each piece of thick-cut bread into three even sticks.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to grease the surface.
Dip each bread stick into the eggnog mixture, ensuring it is fully coated but not overly saturated.
Place the coated bread sticks onto the heated skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully to avoid breaking the sticks.
Repeat the process with the remaining bread sticks, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all French toast sticks are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
