Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 slices Day-old bread (such as brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 4 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, such as a pie plate, for easy dipping.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, spreading it around the pan evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, letting it soak for about 5 seconds per side. Make sure the bread is well-coated but not overly soggy.
Carefully place the coated bread slice onto the skillet or griddle. Repeat with additional slices, cooking in batches if needed.
Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving plate and keep warm. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and repeat with the rest of the bread slices.
Optional: Dust the French toast with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
