Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices of thick-cut bread (preferably day-old or slightly stale)
- 1 cup eggnog
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Butter or oil, for frying
- Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions
- Prepare the Eggnog Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt. Make sure the mixture is well combined and smooth. - Heat the Pan:
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to grease the surface. - Dip the Bread:
Dip each slice of bread into the eggnog mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Let the excess liquid drip off before placing the bread on the hot skillet. - Cook the French Toast:
Cook each slice of bread for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed. - Serve:
Once all the French toast slices are cooked, serve them warm with maple syrup,
Notes
- For an extra festive touch, you can top the French toast with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread for the best texture. You can also use challah, brioche, or French bread for a richer flavor.
- Make sure to adjust the spices to your taste. You can add more cinnamon or nutmeg for a bolder flavor.
