Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 6 slices Thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- as desired Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Place the bread slices on a large plate or baking tray and sprinkle the raisins evenly over them, pressing lightly to make the raisins stick.
Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soaked.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter.
Place 3 slices of the soaked bread with raisins into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish.
Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
