Eggnog French Toast

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

We make eggnog 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).

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 1/2 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: 9×13), 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.
