This is a recipe you'll want to use year round, but since it uses eggnog it makes it an extra special holiday treat that my family requests weekly! To make it even more flavorful, soak and refrigerate the bread overnight in a large baking dish. Serve warm with powdered sugar and syrup if you like. The French toast goes well with scrambled eggs, too. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the eggnog French toast will be. Try to use fresh eggs, milk, and cream for the eggnog mixture, and fresh bread for the toast.
  • Make the eggnog mixture ahead of time: The eggnog mixture can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together and make the eggnog even more delicious.
  • Soak the bread in the eggnog mixture overnight: This will allow the bread to absorb the eggnog mixture and become very flavorful. You can also soak the bread for a shorter amount of time, but the longer it soaks, the more flavorful the French toast will be.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: This will help prevent the French toast from burning. Cook the French toast until it is golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh. You can top it with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, maple syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Make-ahead eggnog French toast is a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch recipe. It is perfect for the holidays or any special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and festive dish that everyone will love.
