Eggnog French Toast

Eggnog French Toast is the perfect fun and festive holiday breakfast. This is one of my family’s favorites. In the fall, our go-to is Pumpkin French Toast. But as soon as the Christmas tree is up, we switch over to eggnog French toast. It is a super quick and easy breakfast, or dinner, at Christmas time!

I recommend using Artesano Broiche Bakery Bread because that is a common brand available in most grocery stores. It has the right thickness and density for french toast. Any of the varieties will work in this recipe. If you have a bread that you already know makes great French toast, go with that! Finding the right bread for French toast had always been a struggle for me, so I have been thrilled to find a brand that I can use consistently.

 

How to Make Eggnog French Toast

  1. In a pie dish or large mixing bowl, combine egg, eggnog, nutmeg and vanilla extract. I recommend using a good quality eggnog and freshly grated nutmeg.
  2. I use a large nonstick electric griddle that can cook 6 slices at a time. I divide the recipe into two batches and melt one tablespoon of butter on the griddle before cooking each batch.
  3. Dip both sides of the bread into the eggnog mixture and quickly shake off any excess.
  4. Cook on hot griddle until both sides are golden brown.
  5. Serve with warm maple syrup, whipped cream and sugared cranberries if desired.
