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

Eggnog French toast is the perfect way to bring holiday cheer to your breakfast table. Whether you’re making it for a special occasion or just because, this decadent dish is sure to impress. So grab some eggnog, whip up this easy recipe, and enjoy a taste of the holidays in every bite!

Ingredients Method

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

Method

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.
Make it a casserole: Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with butter. Tear the bread into chunks, or cut it into cubes, and evenly distribute it in the pan. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cube bread. Cover the pan tightly and store in the fridge until needed (overnight preferably). Or you can make it and bake it right away—it’s delicious no matter what!
Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 – 45 minutes or until golden
