Eggnog French Toast
Description
This French Toast recipe starts by whisking eggs with eggnog, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to form a rich batter. The flour adds body to the custard, while the spices boost its holiday character. Thick slices of bread, such as brioche, are then soaked in the mixture to absorb the flavors and moisture adequately.
Cooking the soaked bread on a greased skillet over medium heat helps develop a golden crust while keeping the centers soft and custardy. Turning the slices ensures even cooking on both sides.
Eggnog French Toast is best served warm with syrup or cinnamon syrup alongside a dusting of cinnamon powder for an extra layer of spiced sweetness. It fits well for a special breakfast or brunch occasion.
The batter can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated. Leftover cooked French Toast should be cooled fully before freezing in airtight containers for up to three months to maintain texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 8 thick slices bread , we like sara lee artesana or brioche
- 4 large egg room temperature
- 2/3 cup eggnog , store-bought or homemade
- 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add all ingredients, except the bread, to a blender or to a shallow dish and whisk well to combine. If whisking by hand, it's okay if the flour doesn't mix in completely smooth.
- Grease skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Dip the bread in the batter and turn to generously coat both sides.
- Place on hot skillet and cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the bread starts to get golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side the same.
- Serve with cinnamon syrup or regular syrup and dust with extra cinnamon.
Notes
- The custard batter can be made one day ahead and kept refrigerated to save time on the day of cooking.
- Cooked French Toast can be frozen once cooled completely; store in freezer-safe containers or bags for up to three months.
