Eggnog French Toast is a delicious breakfast recipe to make for relatives during the holiday season!
It’s all about eggnog during the holidays (since that’s the only time you can get it!) I’ve already baked eggnog cookies and made eggnog fudge. Eggnog muffins are on the menu for Christmas week, and I almost always make eggnog french toast casserole too. But this Eggnog French Toast is so easy to whip up.
Ingredients needed:
- eggs
- eggnog
- flavoring
- spice
- bread
- butter
- syrup (for serving, as desired)
How to make Eggnog French Toast:
Full, printable instructions are included in the recipe at the end of this post.
In a low, wide bowl, combine eggnog, eggs, flavoring and spices. Dunk the bread in the eggnog mixture. Let it sit for a bit to really soak up the liquid.
Melt butter in a skillet and fry the French toast on each side until golden and slightly browned in spots.
Plate individual servings (2 pieces).
Ingredient notes:
- Eggnog: Just use bottled eggnog or eggnog in the carton from the market. It doesn’t matter if you use full-fat or low fat.
- Flavoring: Adults might find it fun to use real spiced rum for the flavoring of this eggnog French toast! But you can also substitute eggnog extract or vanilla extract.
- Spice: The recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice. If you don’t have that on hand, use a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg instead.
- Bread: You can use any kind of bread for this French toast. I like to use either French bread or Challah bread.
Top with a dusting of powdered sugar, if you’d like. You can stop right there and dig in, or go all out and add the regular French toast adornment!
Add warm maple syrup too. Even better, make some homemade eggnog syrup and use that to top your eggnog French toast! Enjoy!
