Easy Eggnog French Toast Recipe

• Simple ingredients.
• Only 5 minutes of prep time.
• Perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Ingredients

• bread: Thick-cut bread like brioche or French bread is ideal. Their porous texture absorbs the eggnog mixture, giving you that perfect balance of crispy outside and soft inside.
• eggnog: The star of the show! Eggnog brings richness and flavor. Its creamy texture infuses the toast with a delightful holiday essence.
• eggs: They act as a binding agent.
• vanilla
• spices: Nutmeg is essential to eggnog and brings that distinct, cozy flavor.
• butter

Top with powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, nuts, or even a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce.

You will also need a mixing bowl, a whisk, and a skillet or griddle.

How to Make Eggnog French Toast

1. Whisk together eggnog mixture.
2. Dip bread in eggnog mixture ensuring it’s soaked through.
3. Cook in a skillet under golden brown on both sides.

Tip! If cooking in a skillet, as each slice of French toast is done, transfer it to a warm oven (around 200°F) on a baking sheet to keep them warm while you cook the rest.
