Tips for the Best Eggnog French Toast
- Use thick bread: A sturdy bread like brioche or challah holds up well to the custard and creates a fluffier texture.
- Don’t soak too long: While you want the bread to absorb the custard, over-soaking can lead to soggy French toast.
- Cook on medium heat: Too high of a heat can burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked.
- Experiment with flavors: Add a splash of rum extract or a pinch of cloves for an extra festive kick.
Pairing Ideas
Eggnog French toast pairs wonderfully with:
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a sweet and savory contrast
- Fresh fruit like berries, bananas, or pomegranate seeds
- A warm cup of coffee or hot cocoa to complete the cozy experience

Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup eggnog
- 6 slices of day old bread
- 1 tsp Watkins Rum Extract
- ½ tsp Watkins cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Watkins nutmeg
- butter or margarine
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Beat eggs and egg nog. Add extract, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix until thoroughly combined. Melt butter in skillet. Soak bread in egg mixture, one slice at a time. Cook in a hot skillet over medium heat. Brown on one side, turn and brown other side. Serve hot with whip cream, maple syrup, jam, jelly, sprinkle with cinnamon and powdered sugar or whatever desired topping.
