Easy Eggnog French Toast {Best}

Quick and easy eggnog french toast recipe, made with simple ingredients. This is the best Christmas breakfast and it is also a great way to use up leftover eggnog.

We make this french toast every Christmas morning and both, kids and adults love it. It's very simple to make. If you are crazy about eggnog like me, you really need to make these Eggnog Cookies (Soft and Chewy) and this Eggnog Cheesecake (No Bake). Also, if you my leftover Eggnog Latte, you can even use that in this delicious recipe.

How do you make eggnog french toast?

1. Combine together eggs, eggnog, milk, rum extract, nutmeg.
2. Dip slices of bread in this mixture.
3. Cook on a griddle or a nonstick pan until golden brown on both sides.
4. Top off with butter and syrup and you are done.

Tips for eggnog french toast recipe

• Use thick slices of bread like french bread or challah because they absorb the eggnog mixture well without becoming "mushy."
• The amount of nutmeg and rum extract can be adjusted, based on your preference.
• If you don't have a griddle, make these in a nonstick pan on stovetop.
• For a sweet and salty flavor combination, top it off with crispy bacon bits.
• Other topping options: butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon or nutmeg, whipped cream, fresh berries or even Sugared Cranberries.
• Recipe can easily be doubled to serve a bigger crowd.

I am still perfecting this version but the following worked really well, last year:

• Use thick slices of challah bread.
• Use 8 eggs.
• Double the rest of the ingredients.
• Add ½ cup whole or 2% milk too.

Prepare the eggnog mixture by combining together eggs, eggnog, milk, rum extract, nutmeg. Pour this over a buttered baking dish (Dimensions: 9x13), lined with slices of challah bread. Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. In the morning, bake at 350 degrees for 45- 50 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle powdered sugar and nutmeg on top, prior to serving with maple syrup.

How do you make eggnog waffles?

Use your favorite waffle recipe and replace milk with the same quantity of eggnog and add ½ teaspoon rum extract and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg. My family and friends love this just as much as these Lemon Blueberry Waffles (Fresh or Frozen). For an elevated presentation that would be suitable for a brunch event, turn the waffles into a showstopper Waffle Cake.

Storage

• Refrigerate- In a sealed container for 2 days but truly tastes best when served fresh.
• Freeze- This is not recommended because it doesn't taste as great upon thawing.
• Room temperature- This can easily stay out in a covered container for 1-2 hours.
