Description
A holiday breakfast featuring French toast made with eggnog.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices thick bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter for cooking
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, and nutmeg in a shallow dish.
- Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, coating both sides. Let the bread soak for about 30 seconds per side.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Notes
- Use day-old bread for best results as it absorbs the liquid better.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, use a thicker cut of bread like challah or brioche.
