Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 flat dish or shallow bowl for soaking bread
  • 1 non-stick skillet or griddle
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 plate for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 8 slices bread (preferably thick, such as brioche or challah)
  • butter for cooking
  • powdered sugar for serving, optional
  • maple syrup for serving, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a pat of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
  • Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, soaking both sides for a few seconds, until well coated but not soggy.
  • Place the soaked bread slices onto the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the cooked French toast and keep it warm on a plate while you finish cooking the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
  • Serve the eggnog French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
  • Feel free to add toppings such as whipped cream, fresh berries, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
  • You can prepare the eggnog mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for quicker preparation in the morning.
  • For a dairy-free option, use almond or coconut milk eggnog.
