Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 shallow dish
- 1 non-stick skillet or griddle
- 1 spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 slices thick bread (such as brioche or challah) Stale bread works best for French toast.
- as needed tablespoons butter For cooking.
- as needed tablespoons maple syrup For serving.
- as needed tablespoons powdered sugar For optional garnish.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet or griddle, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked French toast to a warm plate and keep covered while you finish cooking the remaining slices.
- Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in a pinch of nutmeg or using flavored eggnog.
Pair with fresh fruit or whipped cream for an extra treat.
Make sure your bread is thick enough to hold up to soaking; stale bread works best for French toast.
