Description
A festive and rich French toast using eggnog, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a cozy breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups full-fat eggnog
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 8 thick slices of day-old brioche or challah (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- Whisk together eggs, eggnog, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each slice of bread in the mixture for 20–30 seconds per side, avoiding oversoak.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter and a little oil.
- Cook each slice for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and set.
- If making a large batch, transfer cooked slices to a sheet pan in a 200°F oven to keep warm and crisp.
Notes
Use day-old bread for best results and control heat to avoid burning. Add a tablespoon of mascarpone or a splash of rum for an extra touch.
